Star Sydney Announces New COVID-19 Safety Measures

Star Entertainment Group has announced new COVID-19 safety measures at its flagship casino The Star Sydney that will see access prioritised for high-value patrons and the main gaming floor separated into distinct zones to adhere with new restrictions introduced by the New South Wales state government.
The restrictions are a reaction to recent outbreaks of the virus in NSW, which has seen around 82 new cases over the past week.
Having only reopened its main gaming floor to a maximum of 5000 patrons on July 1, Star announced via an ASX filling that under the latest guidelines of the NSW public health order, each separate area within the casino is now subject to a maximum of 300 patrons, none of whom are allowed to mingle and are subject to a minimum four square meters of space per person.
“The Star is implementing operating procedures which comply with the new restrictions, including the delineation of several separate areas utilizing the over 20,000 square meter casino floor area across The Star Sydney,” the company said.
“The restrictions mean that The Star Sydney will focus on prioritizing visitation by its highest value patrons.”
Staffing levels will also be adjusted to address the new requirements.
