Rawson, Argentina recloses its casinos

Rawson closed its casino – Cultural, recreational, religious and sports activities are being restricted again after the municipality issued a resolution

The mayor of Rawson, Damian Biss (seen below), said to Cadena Tiempo radio ‘For the next 14 days we will restrict all physical, sports, cultural, religious activities, casinos, gyms, churches and all group activities in closed spaces (..) We made some determinations that we are going to translate into a new municipal resolution today’.

As with many other Latam regions, this closure presents an economic blow, as a lot of workers depend on the income of the installations that won’t be able to get anything back in the following days of closure.

Last week, the offices of Chubut Lottery closed due to a contagion alert, and reopened soon after.

But, with 130 active COVID-19 cases and an average of 30 new cases per day, the province is being more and more attentive when it comes to the spreading of the virus, and has decided to stop these activities for two weeks. After two weeks, the measures will be reassessed depending on the cases at hand.

The decision of closure was taken after a meeting the Rawson Emergency Committee held on Wednesday October 14.
