will remain closed<\/a><\/em><\/strong> until March 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe casino had originally shut down gaming operations for three days from Sunday 23 February to Wednesday 26 February before later extending the closure for three more days to 29 February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of Monday morning, there were 8,162 confirmed cases in the country and 75 confirmed deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Measures in the Pacific<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The Pacific region is taking similar steps although casinos still remain open. In Australia, Crown Resorts and Star Entertainment Group announced temporary restrictions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both companies will switch off every second electronic machine, and restrict the number of players at gambling tables. Crown also said it would restrict the number of people in individual conference or restaurant spaces to 450 people, while Star said it would limit the number of people to 500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In New Zealand, casinos remain open but as of last night, all travellers, except those coming from the Pacific islands, are being forced to self-isolate for fourteen days on their arrival to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All cruise ships have also been banned from New Zealand until June 30, and further measures to stop mass gatherings are expected to follow.
