This week's stories that you'll find within the MGM Minute:

MGM RESORTS' HEALTH & SAFETY COMMITMENT

· Based on new directives from the Clark County Commission, MGM Resorts now requires all employees, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, to wear masks indoors while working at its Las Vegas properties.

· This policy will remain in place until at least August 17.

· The Southern Nevada Health Department recommends that everyone - all guests and employees - wear masks when indoors.

· Signs have been posted throughout properties communicating those recommendations. Masks continue to be available for guests at all MGM Resorts' properties, and the company remains vigilant in following health and safety protocols.#

· John Flynn, VP of Administration, MGM Resorts: "The last couple of weeks have been great from the business side with things getting back to 100 percent. As everyone has been watching the data and the numbers, it's time to be a little more proactive. If we can take these proactive measures now, that will help flatten this spike that we're seeing and it keeps our operations running at 100 percent. What we also know, certainly from over the last couple of months, from the data we've seen, vaccines are overwhelmingly effective. I think it forces us to double down our efforts, which is what we're doing here at MGM to get as many people vaccinated as possible. We're going to continue this effort moving forward because we know that is the most effective protocol we can put in place to put this pandemic behind us."
