Crown Resorts confronts another closure in Australia because of a fresh COVID-19 surge and containment protocols.
Effective June 27, 2021, the Crown Perth establishment will shut down for a minimum of 72 hours, adhering to the recent limitations imposed by the Western Australian authorities.
The gaming floor, encompassing its dining and beverage venues, will remain inaccessible until further communication.
“All remaining eateries, bars, and lodging facilities are still operational, albeit with diminished capacity and adjusted operating times,” the company stated.
The location already employs several health and safety protocols, including obligatory guest registration for contact tracing and mask requirements.
Other Crown Resorts properties are encountering comparable constraints. The Crown Melbourne establishment is restricted to 300 individuals per interior area, slot machines require a 1.5-meter separation, gaming tables permit one person per two square meters, and food and beverage service is confined to seated customers exclusively.
Australia is contending with a new wave of COVID-19 cases, with Sydney, the Central Coast, and Blue Mountains regions now under a two-week lockdown.
This lockdown is planned to conclude on July 9, though certain specialists predict an extension – a scenario now familiar globally.
Inhabitants are advised to remain home and venture out solely for essential purposes, such as grocery shopping or medical assistance. All non-essential enterprises, including casinos, clubs, and pubs, will be closed throughout this period.
Sydneys Crown Resorts affirmed its commitment to upholding COVID-19 safety protocols, though certain hotel amenities will see reductions. Additionally, they are developing initiatives to support staff members facing difficulties due to the ongoing health crisis.
The enterprise further indicated its close monitoring of the evolving circumstances in conjunction with governmental and public health authorities, emphasizing their preparedness for swift adjustments in response to any shifts.
