Other events to be cancelled include Chinese New Year ceremonies held by Sands China, Tonny Jan’s “Mind Hacker” at The Parisian, Cantopop band The Wynners at The Venetian, Melco’s resident show The House of Dancing Water, Leon Metro Live 2.0 Concert at City of Dreams, and the “Move! into the wildlife” exhibition at Galaxy Macau, according to IAG.

“The health and safety of our guests and colleagues is always our top priority,” said Chairman and CEO Lawrence Ho.
