Crown Resorts is experiencing another closure, this time because of containment measures in Western Australia.
Their Perth site will be shuttered for a minimum of three days starting June 27th, 2021. This action comes in response to the Western Australian government’s recent limitations to address a surge of COVID-19 infections. The gaming establishment will be closed, in addition to its dining and beverage services. Crown has not disclosed their intended reopening date.
Although some of the hotel’s dining and beverage venues will stay open, their occupancy will be restricted and certain services will be inaccessible.
This closure coincides with Australia’s struggle against a resurgence of COVID-19 infections, specifically the highly transmissible Delta strain. Sydney, the Central Coast, and the Blue Mountains are under a rigorous two-week lockdown. Authorities anticipate this lockdown might be prolonged, a scenario that feels all too recognizable to individuals globally.
The Sydney branch of Crown Resorts has declared their commitment to exceeding COVID safety regulations. Despite this, they will temporarily function with a reduced visitor capacity. The company is also ensuring the financial well-being of their staff affected by these adjustments.
They emphasize their ongoing communication with government and health authorities, highlighting their preparedness to swiftly respond to any shifts in the COVID landscape.
