**Covid-19 Guidelines for each site**

Live! Casino: Face masks and social distancing are mandatory for everyone on site.
Expo Center at Oaks: Fully vaccinated individuals are not required to wear a mask. Anyone that has not been fully vaccinated must wear a mask and practice social distancing at all times.

Questions about donating if you’ve been or plan to be vaccinated for Covid-19? Here are a few quick answers:

There is no deferral time for donating blood after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine manufactured by Johnson & Johnson, Moderna or Pfizer as long as the eligible donor is feeling healthy and is symptom free.
Donors who don’t know the name of the manufacturer of the vaccine they received or donors who received a live attenuated vaccine through a specialized program must wait two weeks before giving blood.
