A former Casino Morongo employee speaking exclusively to News Channel 3 said she quit her job of eight years because she felt she was at risk of becoming infected.

"I was afraid to go back ... but we were told to either resign or go back to work so i had no choice," the employee said. "That first day is all it took."

Although guests are required to wear masks and have their temperature taken at the door, the employee said social distancing isn't being practiced inside.
