The Philippines.- The capital city of Metro Manila is going through a new wave of Covid-19 cases due to the Omicron variant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to this situation, authorities decided to keep the city under Alert Level 3<\/a> until at least January 15 and decided to close casinos in Entertainment City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it seems the measure has not affected casino venues as most of them are open but on a limited basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solaire Resort & Casino\u00a0<\/strong>stated through its website that the complex is open to all fully vaccinated guests while the casino is operating at a limited capacity in line with government guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As regards City of Dreams Manila<\/a>, the casino operator said that proof of vaccination will be required upon entry to be allowed access to its facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
