Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa reopened Thursday for invited guests after being shuttered for months to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa reopened to invited guests Thursday.
Atlantic City’s casinos were permitted to resume operations July 2, following a nearly four-month industry-wide closure due to the coronavirus.
Borgata, an MGM Resorts International property, originally planned to reopen July 6. But, two days before Atlantic City casinos were set to reopen, Gov. Phil Murphy reversed course on permitting indoor dining to resume. As a result, Borgata put the brakes on a reopening plan.
It will reopen to the general public at 10 a.m. July 26.

Gov. Phil Murphy on Thursday announced a $6 million small business lease emergency assistance grant program.
The program, run through the New Jersey Redevelopment Authority for the 64 communities covered by the authority, will be paid for through federal CARES Act funding, Murphy said during a news conference in Monmouth County.
“This is part of the broader Main Street Commercial Corridors Relief program that will provide small businesses in Redevelopment Authority-covered municipalities with up to $10,000 in direct help to pay their rent,” Murphy said. “By the way, that helps, obviously, the businesses, but it helps the property owners as well. Many of them in fact are small businesses themselves and it helps all of the above weather this challenging time.”
He described the communities that “have worked hard to re-energize and redefine themselves” and where “entrepreneurs have put it all on the line to chase a dream, and where property owners have invested their time and money in the vitality of these communities.”
Atlantic City, as well as Bridgeton in Cumberland County, are both municipalities covered by the authority.
Murphy gave the announcement at Long Branch City Hall.
During the conference, Murphy also gave an update on number of positive cases of COVID-19.
The number of cases in New Jersey has increased by 344, bringing the total to 177,887, Murphy said. There have been 23 additional deaths, bringing the state total to 13,810.
“We’ve hit some reporting lags at some of our labs processing tests and we continue to work to get updated data,” Murphy said. “However, what the current data can tell us is that social distancing, wearing that face covering – that stuff works – and it tells us that everyone should go get tested.”
Of the confirmed deaths, four of them happened in the past five days, Murphy said. There are also 1,920 probable deaths.
For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia.
In addition, Murphy commented on the new unemployment data published by the state Department of Labor this morning.
“Over the past four months — it’s hard to believe this — but 1.4 million New Jerseysians have filed claims for unemployment,” he said. “It’s extraordinary.”
The total included 26,000 new claims filed last week, he said. However, the number of new claims is trending down.

NJ Transit received more than 245,000 cloth masks that will be made available to customers after a donation from the federal government, officials said Thursday.
The masks were donated by the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Transit Administration, or FTA, according to a news release.
Last week, and continuing through the end of this week, NJ Transit Customer Service Ambassadors began distributing masks at numerous stations, officials said. Customers were provided with the FTA-donated cloth masks if they needed a face covering. Major terminals will maintain a limited supply of masks at customer service offices in the event customers forget or lose their masks.
“Federal and state health officials have declared that the challenges of distancing on mass transit make wearing face coverings to stop the spread of the virus absolutely essential. Wearing a proper face covering correctly, along with every day preventive actions, helps protect your fellow riders and our frontline employees, and their masks help protect you,” said NJ Transit President and CEO Kevin Corbett. “We thank the Trump Administration, specifically U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao and Acting FTA Administrator K. Jane Williams, for this generous donation that allows us to add another layer of protection for our customers and employees.”

Cape May County officials on Thursday announced that drive-thru COVID-19 testing will be available later this month.
The county Department of Health and CompleteCare Health Network are partnering to open drive-thru COVID-19 testing clinics, Freeholder Jeff Pierson said in a news release.
The first drive-thru will be held on July 30th by appointment only at the Cape May County Fire Academy, 171 Crest Haven Road in Cape May Court House starting at 8 a.m., according tot he release. Other testing dates will be scheduled based on community need.
Patients must first be screened for symptoms or exposure via a telemedicine visit by a CompleteCare provider, according to the release. Appointments for screenings can be requested by visiting CompleteCareNJ.org and clicking the Request an Appointment tab or calling 609-465-0258.
Once the appointment request is received, patients will receive a call back from a CompleteCare representative to help schedule a visit, officials said. If testing is required, a prescription will be sent to the Health Department who will then call to schedule a drive-thru testing time.
The full process for scheduling an appointment for COVID-19 drive-thru testing and more information about the virus can be found at CompleteCareNJ.org/COVID19.
CompleteCare accepts Medicaid, Medicare as well as private insurance plans and those without insurance, according tot he release.The test will be free of charge and no co-pay will be required for the screening.
The patient's insurance company will be billed for the test and screening, according to the release. For those who do not have insurance, the cost will be covered by the federal government.
Translation services are available for those in need, officials said.
This is a nasal saline test and results are usually available within 3-4 days, however recently some delays have been experienced due to a surge in testing, according to the release.
Officials recommended the following if a person feel sick:
- Stay home except to get medical care. Most individuals with COVID-19 have mild illness and can recover at home without medical care. It is important that you do not leave your home, except to get medical care.
- Stay in touch with your doctor. Call before you get medical care. Call 9-1-1 or visit the emergency department if you are having trouble breathing or other serious symptoms.
- Monitor your symptoms. Common symptoms include fever and cough. Trouble breathing is a more serious symptom that means you should get medical attention but call first.
- Do not visit public places and avoid public transportation.
- Separate yourself from other people in your home, this is known as “home isolation”. You want to stay away from others as much as possible. Create a “sick room” if possible.
- Call your doctor ahead before visiting. Many medical visits for routine care are being postponed or done by phone or telemedicine.
- Cover your coughs and sneezes.
- Clean your hands often. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- Avoid sharing personal household items.
- Clean all “high-touch” surfaces every day.

The state Department of Labor and Workforce Development has distributed $11.6 billion in unemployment benefits to New Jersey workers in the past 18 weeks, including $825 million last week alone, as the number of initial unemployment applications declined for the second straight week, state officials said Thursday.
For the week ending July 18, the Labor Department received 25,804 new applications for benefits from unemployed or furloughed workers, a 33 percent decline from the prior week, according to a news release. Over the past four weeks, the Department has received an average of just under 35,000 initial unemployment claims per week.
“While we’re pleased to see a gradual slowing of the rate of new unemployment claims, we are painfully aware of the unprecedented number of our fellow New Jerseyans who are struggling financially as a direct result of COVID-19,” said Labor Commissioner Robert Asaro-Angelo. “I couldn’t be more proud of our staff who have been working non-stop to provide an average of almost $10,000 in vital economic support to 1.2 million New Jerseyans during this difficult time. Nonetheless, we are mindful that some workers continue to wait for resolution of their cases, and we are making every effort to get them a determination quickly.”
