“Crown is a major employer in both Victoria and Western Australia with over 18,500 people working across our complexes.
“We continue to balance our responsibilities to our people in a manner which is in the interests of the health and safety of Crown employees, customers and the broader community.”
Meanwhile, Australia’s other leading gambling entertainment group Tabcorp has also been badly affected by the outbreak of this virus.
Tabcorp, who employs more than 5000 people and has betting terminals in pubs, clubs and retail agencies, also closed in order to control the spread of Coronavirus.
It is said that their shares fell 14.5 per cent on Monday while the value of its stocks have also decreased by half since late February.
Tabcorp’s chief executive David Attenborough said in a statement that they are working with all the relevant stakeholders in order to control the impact of the virus on their businesses and customers.
The company is said to be focusing on encouraging its customers to wager online, like CasinoAdvisers.com, rather than placing bets in pubs or retail outlets.
According to JP Morgan expert Don Carducci, racing would likely get disrupted in the present situation, with the United Kingdom already cancelled the 2020 Grand National-the most valuable jump race in Europe.
This could have a huge impact on Tabcorp as racing make up 86 per cent of the company’s wagering revenue.
Businesses around the world have suffered severely due to the spread of the Coronavirus, which went largely ignored when it first originated in China.
The virus has been spreading at a greatly alarming speed, with China, Italy, USA, Spain, Germany, France and Iran as some of the worst-affected countries.
Total cases of Coronavirus have reached almost 70,000 in Italy, taking its death toll to about 6800, while the USA has been grappling with above 50,000 total cases of the virus.
The situation in Australia does not look as severe as China or the US, with its cases a little over 2000, but the country is taking great precautionary measures to avoid the fate of these countries.

Expats.bg All Are Welcome! Join Now!Crown Perth’s restaurants will soon reopen, but its casino doors will remain closed.
WA Today reports that hospitality venues across Western Australia will reopen on Saturday, but will remain idle at the state’s biggest private employer, Crown Perth.
Some bars and restaurants will be back in the game at WA’s gaming mecca, but discussions between authorities and Crown Perth on when gaming floors reopen are ongoing.
Several venues at Crown Perth were close to fully booked ahead of phase three restrictions hitting just in time for the battered hospitality industry on June 6, but the resort’s chief executive officer Barry Felstead said only about half of the 5500 people employed pre-pandemic would be back at work initially.
A selection of restaurants and bars including The Merrywell, Nobu, Silks, Modo Mio, TWR and Bistro Guillaume will open their doors to the public for the first time in almost two months.
“We’ve got about 2100 food and beverage staff and we’re going to bring back several hundred of them for the first phase of opening up some of our restaurants,” Mr Felstead said.
Eight of Crown’s 35 restaurants and bars will operate from this weekend as part of the resort’s phased approach back to full operation.
The state of play on the resort’s gaming floors, which employ thousands of people and are a big component of Crown’s bottom line, was less clear.
“We’re looking to kick discussions off this week,” Mr Felstead said.
“Obviously we’re pretty keen to get the main part of the property open.”
Mr Felstead said a variety of health measures were in place for restaurants and also the casino for state health officers to consider.
He didn’t rule out the possibility patrons who wanted to gamble with cards and chips on blackjack tables, for example, wearing gloves if that meant those elements of the gaming floor could reopen sooner.
The sprawling design of bars and restaurants means several could open at once and still abide by the government’s 100/300 rule.
“Our restaurants are treated as separate venues; we can potentially open 10 or 11 restaurants with 100 people in each,” Mr Felstead said.
“The restaurants are spread out and we’ve had a lot of bookings already.
“People will come in, they’ll go to the restaurant – socially distanced of course – have their meal and that’s pretty much it.

“Obviously the casino isn’t open so there’s not much else to do other than the restaurants at this point in time.”

Accommodation options receive good interest
The top-range Crown Towers was open for bookings and several rooms were available, while the resort’s mid-range Metropol would be back online soon.
“We’ve had a very good demand for bookings without much advertising and a lot of interest in people coming to the restaurants,” Mr Felstead said.
A Crown spokesperson said staff had worked hard behind the scenes to implement measures to reduce infection when each of the resort’s restaurants reopened.

“Guests and employees will be required to comply with physical distancing measuring while on property, all in accordance with government requirements, which include venue capacity and density limits and spacing between tables,” they said.

“High frequency cleaning will be implemented across all areas of the entertainment complex with an emphasis on high-contact surfaces and frequently used areas, including cleaning all tables and chairs between each seating.”
Guests would also be asked to use hand sanitiser upon entry to restaurants and employees were required to wash their hands or use hand sanitiser at frequent intervals, with hand sanitiser stations placed across the resort.
