Singapore casinos close for one month

Since next Tuesday, only essential services and key economic sectors permitted to continue operating.

Singapore.- Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa will close their doors from tomorrow after the national government announced measures to fight the spread of Coronavirus.

From Tuesday, only essential services and key economic sectors are permitted to continue operating.

According to Inside Asian Gaming, Marina Bay Sands announced over the weekend that it would suspend all integrated resort services until Monday 4 May, including the casino, hotel, shops, food and beverage outlets and its ArtScience Museum. 

Hotel reservations will be cancelled and guests already booked into the hotel will be relocated once the closure period begins.

Resorts World Sentosa will do the same and will suspend most operations from Monday, including the casino and popular attractions Universal Studios Singapore, S.E.A. Aquarium, Adventure Cove Waterpark and Dolphin Island.

“In the meantime, we will continue to look after our RWS family, including the marine life under our care,” the company said in a statement.
