Wynn Resorts and University Medical Centre have announced a unique partnership, which will allow all employees of Wynn Las Vegas to have access to testing for the Covid-19 virus at no cost to the employee.

The move is part of a wider effort on the part of the casino operator to reopen following the coronavirus pandemic.

Wynn Resorts chief executive, Matt Maddox, was one of handful of business leaders who attended an ‘Opening Up America Again’ roundtable alongside president Donald Trump earlier.

Hilton chief executive, Chris Nassetta, and a host of other business leaders were also present.

Maddox presented the Wynn Las Vegas Health & Sanitation Program during the event, with the document designed to showcase how the award-winning casinos in Las Vegas can open safely.

All casinos in the state of Nevada are closed on the orders of governor Steve Sisolak, with measures set to stay in place until at least May 15th.

There have been nearly 5,000 confirmed coronavirus cases in the state, with 237 deaths.

In his plan, Maddox praised Sisolak “for making the difficult decision and taking early action in the fight against Covid-19.

“I believe his decisions saved lives.”

However, the casino operator said the time was right to move toward reopening.
