New Zealand – SkyCity forced to close in Auckland, Hamilton and Queenstown
By Phil - 17 August 2021
New Zealand casino company SkyCity is being forced to close its Auckland, Hamilton and Queenstown casino and entertainment facilities due to an increase in COVID infections. SkyCity’s Auckland hotels will remain open to accommodate existing guests currently staying in-house, pending further advice from the New Zealand Government.
The operator said: “These measures have been implemented in response to the announcement by the New Zealand Government earlier today that, following a new case of COVID-19 in the Auckland community, the COVID-19 Alert Level will increase to Alert Level 4 in New Zealand. It is expected that the Auckland and Coromandel regions will be in Alert Level 4 for a period of seven days and the rest of New Zealand will be in Alert Level 4 for a period of three days. SkyCity’s Adelaide property is unaffected by these latest restrictions in New Zealand and remains open with physical distancing and hygiene requirements already in place.”
SkyCity still intends to release its result for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 on August 25 2021.
