Casino resorts in Singapore have been allowed to ease measures that were in place to reduce the spread of Covid-19, as the city-state started on Monday (June 14) to allow some opening up economic activity. In a statement, the Ministry of Health said Singapore would gradually reopen and move to what is known locally as phase three (heightened alert) and do so in two steps.

Starting from Monday, operating capacity limits for a number of businesses have increased to 50 percent, from 25 percent. These include attractions, cruises, museums and public libraries.
In its latest update on Covid-19 related restrictions at the property, Marina Bay Sands removed reference to a condition that only two casino patrons could be seated at anyone gambling table. The property currently only states that the casino is now open to people over 21 years of age.
Singapore reported 18 new Covid-19 cases on Monday, according to the city-state’s health authorities.
