Macao casinos were set to reopen on Thursday, following a two-week suspension in a bid to control the virus outbreak.
The city’s gaming regulator, however, imposed strict rules at the casinos, according to a report by the South China Morning Post. People at the tables were required to wear masks, and only half the tables at the gaming floor were allowed to be open, to ensure sufficient distance between people, according to the report.
Casino operators that include Wynn Macau, Sands China, MGM China and Galaxy Entertainment said they will reopen progressively, according to the SCMP report. They have 30 days to open fully, it said. Shares of those Hong Kong-listed operators were down in afternoon trade. Wynn Macau fell around 1%, Sands China tumbled 2.49%, Galaxy Entertainment declined 1.21%. — Weizhen Tan
