The real question is...were these workers detected before or after they were working? If after, how long were they working while still positive?

The proof that temperature checks are not eliminating all coronavirus positive entrants to casinos is that casino staff keep coming down with the virus.

Fever checks cant catch all Covid-19 cases. Smell tests might help (https://www.statnews.com/2020/07/02/smell-tests-temperature-checks-covid19/)

I can't say that "scratch and sniff" tests will work any better, but there just seems to be no certain way to block coronavirus positive entrants to a facility.

Not looking so good, in that the #1 place to catch coronavirus in Nevada, is at a Las Vegas Strip casino!

The figures break down as follows, with the Cosmopolitan at the head of the list:

368

The only joint that comes close to a good place to catch coronavirus when compared to the Strip casinos, is in fact - in the joint - inside Clark County Detention Facility.
