Singapore continues to see a rapid increase in the number of COVID-19 patients. The city-state in Southeast Asia has now eclipsed 30,000 positive coronavirus cases.<\/p>\n
The World Health Organization (WHO) reports Singapore has 30,426 confirmed coronavirus cases, but the disease has been cited for just 23 deaths. Marina Bay Sands says, when permitted, the large integrated resort will be ready to reopen safely.<\/p>\n
\nMarina Bay Sands has been working hard to boost our business resiliency and enhance public health after the pandemic. Some 40 task forces have been set up during the current temporary closure to explore how to improve operations in the post-COVID world, from reimagining our MICE and F&B venue set-up to designing masks and goggles that seek to protect both staff and guests,” the resort explained.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
“Some 1,000 staff \u2013 working in staggered shifts \u2013 in security, facilities, and cleaning departments, have been deployed on site during this period to maintain the cleanliness and safety of our iconic property,” a statement added. “We aim to create a safe and controlled environment for our guests and Team Members when we reopen, using innovative technologies to redesign the integrated resort\u2019s hardware and customer experience.”<\/p>\n
Both Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa are certified SG Clean venues. The Singapore government issues the SG Clean certifications to properties that display a commitment towards the highest levels of sanitization and hygiene.<\/p>\n
Singapore Gaming Industry<\/b><\/h2>\n Singapore’s two casinos reported gross gaming revenue (GGR) of $5.9 billion last year. In exchange for extending their duopoly through at least 2030, Sands and Genting agreed in April 2019 to further invest $3.3 billion each into their properties.<\/p>\n

Billionaire Sands owner Sheldon Adelson is confident the investment is still sound, saying during the company’s earnings report last month that it will strengthen its leadership position in Singapore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
“We remain excited to be a part of Singapore’s continued growth, as a leading business, tourism, and leisure destination,” Adelson explained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
