The Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa of Singapore have announced they will remain closed until June 1st due to Covid-19. The extended closure is in effect to help slow the spread of the virus. The original end date was May 4th.

Extended Closures:

The prime minister of Singapore announced yesterday that circuit-breaker measures would be extended. Non-essential businesses, which include the casinos, will remain closed for an additional month in order to ensure social distancing can continue.

The decision comes at a time when the government task force of the country met to discuss the crisis. In just a two-day time frame before the decision was made, Singapore saw over 2,500 new infection cases. As of Tuesday, the reported infected totals came in at 9,125.
