Authorities have decided to use the Parisian Macao casino resort as quarantine accommodation due to the rapid growth in new Covid-19 cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Macau.- As the number of\u00a0new Covid-19 cases<\/a> in Macau continues to rise, the government has decided to use the 2.300 hotel rooms at the Parisian Macao casino resort as a quarantine accommodation. The complex is\u00a0operated by Sands China Ltd<\/strong>, whose other venues, the Sheraton Grand Macao and the Londoner Macao casino resort, have already been used for quarantine purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Authorities announced on Sunday the suspension of non-essential services in public offices until July 1. A new mass testing for Covid-19 has begun today (June 27) and will continue through tomorrow. It’s the third mass testing since the current outbreak started on June 19. The first occurred between June 19 and 21, and the second over June 23 and 24. Some 357 new cases of Covid-19 have been detected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sanford C. Bernstein<\/a>\u00a0predicts that this month\u2019s gross gaming revenue (GGR) could come in at only 9 per cent of 2019 levels. Compared to May<\/a>, Macau\u2019s GGR would be down by 31 per cent month-on-month. However, according to analysts, it could fall further if restrictions remain in place and new Covid-19 cases continue to appear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Authorities have decided to use the Parisian Macao casino resort as quarantine accommodation due to the rapid growth in new Covid-19 cases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":26406,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"Macau authorities have designated the Parisian Macao casino resort, operated by Sands China Ltd., as a quarantine facility amidst a surge in COVID-19 cases, following similar deployments of other Sands properties.
