The closure of casinos and other non-essential businesses was among a series of measures undertaken by Phu Quoc and province officials to curb the spread of the disease. However, other non-essential operations such as beauty salons, theaters, massage parlors and spas, as well as indoor sports facilities and gyms have remained closed.Ĭorona Resort & Casino has been shut since July 19 as Vietnam was grappling with a new extreme surge in Covid-19 cases at the time. Lam Minh Thanh, Chairman of the People’s Committee in Kien Giang Province, on Wednesday gave the nod to a range of businesses to resume operations, including casinos, hotels, restaurants, amusement parks, cable cars, and safaris, among others. The province, which includes Phu Quoc, is now a green zone under Vietnam’s classification system for anti-pandemic measures. The property, which is located on the Vietnamese island of Phu Quoc, was allowed to reopen after authorities in Kien Giang Province eased Covid-19-related restrictions. Corona Resort & Casino, the only operational casino in Vietnam that allows nationals to gamble, has been given the go-ahead to resume operations after it was ordered to close temporarily two months ago.
