Manila Casinos Welcome Back Guests, as Philippines Eases Capacity Limits

Manila casinos are finally able to open their doors to meaningful numbers of guests. That’s after the Philippines government decided to ease their operating restrictions in the wake of decreasing COVID-19 case counts and hospitalizations.

Harry Roque, the spokesperson for Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, announced last Friday that the capital’s metro area has been downgraded from Alert Level 3 to Level 2. The latest COVID-19 status means casinos can greatly increase their operational capacities throughout their resort complexes.

Roque said the alert level assignment will be in place through the end of the month, so long as a new spike in coronavirus cases is not experienced. Beginning December 1, the presidential spokesperson added that alert level reviews will occur on the 15th and 30th of each month.

Manila and the Philippines have finally managed to get COVID-19 somewhat under control. The recent easing to Level 2 comes after the National Capital Region reported a drop in new coronavirus cases from nearly 28,000 on September 9 to 2,344 new positive results counted on November 5.
