Mohegan Sun and Yale New Haven Health are now offering COVID-19 testing at a parking garage on the Uncasville casino’s grounds.
The drive-through testing site is open to the public and Mohegan employees by appointment, according to Mohegan and Yale New Haven. Testing is available to people with and without health insurance.
“Since temporarily closing in March 2020, and reopening to the public on June 1, 2020, Mohegan Sun has been at the forefront of making health & safety a top priority as well as assisting on important community efforts,” a statement from the casino said.
Mohegan Sun, and the Mohegan Tribe that owns and operates the casino recently expanded an existing partnership with Yale New Haven Health. The casino plans to start construction of an 8,500-square-foot  walk-in care and specialty care clinic for employees and the public.
The casino shut down due to COVID-19 in March, but reopened June 1. By September, Mohegan Sun said a majority of its 80 dining, nightlife and retail locations had reopened. However, the pandemic still appears to be taking a heavy toll on Mohegan’s earnings.
In an earnings call with shareholders last month, Mohegan Sun officials said it recorded slot revenues of $35.8 million in October, down 11% from $40.3 million in September and down 18% from $43.7 million in October 2019.
