SPRINGFIELD — The Massachusetts Gaming Commission revealed Thursday that state-licensed casinos have reported cases of employees infected with coronavirus, and described the total only as being in the “single digits.”

“We have been notified of a small number of cases numbering in the single digits,” said Loretta Lillios, chief enforcement counsel and deputy director for the commission. “The local boards of health have been notified as well.”

Springfield Health and Human Services Commissioner Helen R. Caulton-Harris referred to questions on specifics to MGM Springfield.

MGM Springfield declined to identify the total number of cases or the positions involved.

“We have detailed incident response protocols based on CDC guidelines. If an employee tests positive, we work to identify those who had close contact with the individual and ensure they are notified and require them to be tested. All positive cases are reported to public health officials and we assist with their contact tracing efforts as well,” said a MGM Resorts spokesperson in a statement. “MGM employees are tested at no cost to them and are provided two weeks of paid time off if they are found to be positive. Out of respect for the privacy of individual employees, we will confirm a case only when there is an impact on our operations or the public health.”

The Massachusetts Gaming Commission oversees three casinos in Massachusetts: MGM Springfield; Encore Boston Harbor and Plainridge Park. It was notified of the virus cases at its regular meeting, which is conducted remotely due to COVID-19.

Lillios did not specify how many cases were at which casinos, but said that none of the personnel who tested positive for COVID-19 involved “front or guest-facing positions,” nor did they have direct contact with commission staff.

Infections were “determined to have been contracted off-property by a source other than the casino,” such as a family member or other source, she said.

“Other casino employees that had direct contact with positive cases have been notified and were asked to quarantine and be tested,' Lillios said.

She said the information of the infections was promptly shared with the commission staff by the casinos, as is required by the commission.

Commission staff including Executive Director Karen Wells said the casinos continue to comply with COVID-19 regulations and guidelines.

The casinos were shuttered in March because of the pandemic and allowed to reopen under certain restrictions in July.
