Macau Casinos to Resume Operations from February 20

The casinos in Macau are going to resume their operations from February 20 after the authorities imposed a two-week suspension to keep the coronavirus in check. The halt in gaming operations started on February 5.
Macau has not reported any new cases of the virus since February 4. There have been 10 confirmed cases of the virus in total.
Macau government has told casino operators, which include Sands China, Wynn Macau, SJM Holdings, MGM China, Galaxy Entertainment and Melco Resorts, they have 30 days to go back to full business.
While casinos have been given permission to operate, business is likely to be limited, say executives, due to Macauâs strict controls on visitor entry and curtailed transport links, including the suspension of ferry services from neighbouring special administrative region Hong Kong.
Nearly 30 hotels, mostly joined to casinos, have been shuttered for the last two weeks due to the suspension. It was not immediately clear how quickly those operations, as well as other non-gaming amenities, would resume.

Macau Govt Appoints Ng Wai Han as Director of DICJ

Â
The Macau Government has appointed Ng Wai Han, who was serving as Director of the Public Administration and Civil Service Bureau (SAFP), as Director of the Macau Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ).
Ng had served as head of the Public Administration Bureau since September 2023, following a three-year stint as Deputy Director.
Between 1999 and 2020, Ng rose through the ranks of the Labour Affairs Bureau (DSAL) to the position of Deputy Director.
With this appointment, the reshuffling of DICJâs leadership team is now complete. The position of Director had remained vacant since 20 December last year, when her predecessor, Adriano Marques Ho, became Director General of the Macau Customs. Deputy Director Lio Chi Chong had been serving as Acting Director in the interim.
Lei Seak Chio, who, like Ng, previously worked at DSAL, was appointed one of DICJâs Deputy Directors in February, replacing Peter Chui.
