A spokesman for the company, which is also shuttering its Resorts World Casino New York City, said they are beginning “the process of reducing property staffing levels to essential personnel.” Full-time employees will be paid during the closure.
“We will continue to closely monitor developments regarding COVID-19 and follow additional guidance from New York State,” the official said.
