For Healthcare Heroes Day on May 2, MGM National Harbor turned blu to celebrate first responders, healthcare workers, and everyone on the front lines fighting COVID-19.

MGM Resorts International, parent company of MGM National Harbor, this week released a report outlining the comprehensive health and safety protocols the company is implementing prior to re-opening its domestic properties and resorts which were temporarily closed in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Titled “Seven-Point Safety Plan,” MGM Resorts’ report provides a multi-layered set of protocols and procedures designed in conjunction with medical and scientific experts to deter the spread of COVID-19, protect customers and employees, and rapidly respond to potential new cases.

“Preparing for the moment we can re-open our doors, MGM Resorts focused on developing a plan that puts health and safety at the center of everything we do. Our ‘Seven-Point Safety Plan’ is the result of months of consultations with public health experts and outlines our comprehensive approach to welcoming guests back safely,” said MGM Resorts Acting CEO and President Bill Hornbuckle.

“Our properties will not look the way they used to for a while, and that’s not only okay, it’s critically important. We will continue providing the hospitality experiences we are known for, but we must do so safely. We will continue working with experts and following guidance from the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and government officials and regulators as we evolve these protocols based on the latest information.”
