Argentina – Santa Fe Casino closes in on opening but no date confirmed yet

By - 12 June 2020

The Government in the Argentinean province of Santa Fe has given the green light for the province’s casino sector to begin operating having signed a decree authorising their opening and approving the protocols of the sector.

The Casino Manager at the Santa Fe Casino, Marcos Drozdowicz, said: “We are working together with the Santa Fe Province Lottery in the development of protocols, to ensure everything relating to the safety of both customers and our employees, when they can resume activities. We are making it a priority to ensure a safe experience.”

Entrances will house temperature controls and hand and footwear sanitation stations as well as the mandatory use of masks. Social distance will be in place on the gaming floor, disinfecting contact points as well as games and toilets.

Mr. Drozdowicz added: “The capacity with which we are going to be able to work has not yet been defined. We are prepared for all the regulations defined by the lottery, which will present the protocols to the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Labour. They will be in charge of approving them to create the safest possible environment. We don’t have a defined opening date yet.”

The Province’s labour minister Roberto Sukerman warned: “Neither the casinos, nor the bingos, nor the shopping malls will open as before. We are not going to find a full shopping mall on Father’s Day. “We are going little by little, testing and seeing how it works. As long as we keep the curve (of coronavirus infections) flattened, we are going to be able to keep moving forward.”
