The Crown Melbourne Casino Will Stay Shut
Crown Resorts intends to reopen the lodging and eateries at its Crown Melbourne location on Friday, the eleventh of June, 2021. Nevertheless, the gaming floor will stay closed for the foreseeable future.
This declaration follows a fortnight of provisional limitations put in place by the Victorian administration, compelling the complex to halt most of its activities as Melbourne went into another COVID-19 lockdown.
The lockdown in Victoria commenced on May 27th for a seven-day duration due to a surge in infections, but was subsequently prolonged for an additional week due to ongoing escalations in case counts.
While a number of Crown Melbourne’s enterprises will recommence operations this Friday, wagering pursuits at the establishment are still on hold. The proprietor states it will continue to back its personnel during these unpredictable times.
“Crown Melbourne will persist in financially assisting those workers who remain furloughed throughout this period, encompassing the majority of gaming operations personnel, through the disbursement of a voluntary payment,” a communication from Crown stated. “This encompasses qualified temporary employees.”
“Crown Melbourne will persist in collaborating closely with the Victorian Government and health officials and will react to any subsequent alterations to limitations and/or health counsel pertaining to COVID-19.”
Crown Melbourne is presently under scrutiny by a royal commission established by the Victorian government, following an investigation in New South Wales that deemed the operator unfit to manage its recently constructed casino in Sydney.
