The Coeur d’Alene Casino is closing temporarily to minimize the potential spread of the coronavirus.

The casino is closing at noon Friday for two weeks, according to a news release.

The Coeur d'Alene Resort is a world class resort and hotel. Located on beautiful Coeur d’Alene Lake, The Coeur d’Alene Resort offers top of the line accommodations and amenities for social guests, golfers, meeting planners and meeting attendees.

“Over the last few weeks our team has done an incredible job implementing enhanced cleaning measures but as this situation continues to develop, we feel that we need to take a bigger step in preventing the potential spread of the virus,” Laura Stensgar, CEO of Coeur d’Alene Casino, said in a statement. “We did not make this decision alone and have the full support of the Coeur d’Alene Tribal Council and tribal members.”
