The Star Entertainment Group, operator of The Star Sydney in Australia, has welcomed the NSW government’s announcement about Covid-19 related restrictions that apply to larger hospitality venues.
The easing in operating restrictions from December 7 includes an increase in the number of patrons as permitted under the one person per two square metre rule (previously one person per four square metres) and the removal of the 300 patron cap per area.
Notwithstanding these changes, The Star Sydney is still required to comply with the rules regarding spatial distancing between gaming positions.
The changes permit The Star Sydney to increase patronage from the current maximum of 1,800 patrons at any one time within the casino area to up to approximately 10,000 patrons, based on the square metreage of the property.
