Days after Bear River Casino announced that it would reopen on May 24, Cher-Ae Heights has shared on social media that it will also reopen this Friday amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Despite Humboldt County Public Health Officer Dr. Teresa Frankovich’s comments last week, and Sheriff Billy Honsal’s similarly wary sentiments this afternoon, that it’s too early to reopen casinos in the area, Cher-Ae Heights Casino General Manager Ryan Sundberg said in a press release that the casino is excited to reopen and that employees have spent the last three months researching safety measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

“We are pleased to announce that we will reopen the casino this coming Friday,” Sundberg stated in a press release. “The safety of our guests and employees is of the utmost priority.”

These plans include closing every night from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m. to sanitize the property, the addition of plexiglass barriers throughout the casino and special senior hours between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m.

As for Blue Lake Casino, Communications Manager Andrea Marvin told the Outpost that the Blue Lake Rancheria is taking extra precautions before announcing an official reopening date, adding that all casino employees took antibody tests today.

“Right now we’re looking at possible opening in early June,” Marvin said. “That could change, but definitely not before June. The tribe is acting out of an abundance of caution … looking at federal, state and local guidelines and considering the recommendations, seeing what happens with the number of cases [locally].”
