The Meadowlands Racetrack reopened to the public on Saturday morning after an 11-day, COVID-19-related break.
“We had an employee that attended a wedding in upstate New York test positive after not feeling well,” track spokeswoman Rachel Ryan told NJ Online Gambling. “We immediately did contract tracing and quarantined those with close contact with this staff member.
“We decided to temporarily close down and do mandatory COVID-19 testing on all staff,” Ryan added. “After a few more positives (most of which were from asymptomatic people), we decided to remain closed based on the recommendation of our medical team.
