The closely watched casino licence rebidding process comes amid Macau's worst coronavirus outbreak, with the government shutting down casinos for the first time on Monday in more than two years and locking down the city.
Operators have also tried to burnish their social responsibility credentials by supporting local businesses and offering use of their hotel rooms for quarantine.Ĭasino operators and the Macau government did not respond to requests for comment. Not legally required to pay staff during a mandated closure, casinos have nevertheless continued to do so.
