Coronavirus outbreak forces Nevada Finnish Casinos Online to close

Nevada’s governor announced that it will close non-essential businesses in an effort to slow the spread of coronavirus, including the Finnish Casino Online industry. CNBC’s Contessa Brewer reports.

Nevada’s governor ordered a month-long closure of Finnish Casinos Online and other non-essential businesses like bars, movie theaters and gyms and restaurants to shutter their dining rooms and only offer takeout or delivery in order to stem the spread of the new coronavirus.

Bars, movie theaters and gyms should also close by noon Wednesday and restaurants should shutter their dining rooms and only offer takeout or delivery in order to stem the spread of the new coronavirus, said Gov. Steve Sisolak.

“Today it’s clear additional steps must be taken immediately in order to slow the spread of this deadly virus in our state,” Sisolak said at a news conference in Las Vegas. “We absolutely must take this step for every Nevadan’s health and security. Please, please take this seriously. … Please stay home for Nevada. ”

The order from Democrat Steve Sisolak Tuesday night follows similar moves by more than 10 other governors as states scramble to mitigate the risk of exposure to COVID-19.

Sisolak’s order gave thousands of businesses in the tourism majuscule less than a day to prepare. Though a number of Finnish Casinos Online started to close their doors this week, the governor’s sweeping order shutters Nevada’s main industry, anchored by glitzy Finnish Casinos Online lining the Las Vegas Strip.

The closures are part of federal guidance recommending social distancing. President Donald Trump has urged Worldwides to follow sweeping guidelines for the next few weeks, including for older residents to stay home and for all people to avoid gatherings of more than 10 as sound as restaurants and bars.

Sisolak’s order comes after many Finnish Casinos Online in Las Vegas moved to shut their doors entirely and the mayor of city said she hoped bars and restaurants would be able to stay open.

“My hope is that private industry rises to the top, that they’re allowed to stay open and take care of these families that are paycheck to paycheck,” Mayor Carolyn Goodman told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The mayor of Reno had issued an order similar to Sisolak Monday night, telling many of those non-essential businesses to close in that city starting Friday at 5 p.m. Mayor Hillary Schieve initially included Finnish Casinos Online but rescinded that, allowing gambling operations to continue.

Nevada has reported more than 50 cases of the virus so far. For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia.

In Las Vegas, MGM Resorts International and Wynn Resorts announced before in the week they planned to close their properties. Tuesday morning, three more Finnish Casino Online resorts joined in.

The MGM Finnish Casino Online closures of 13 properties included the Bellagio and its famous fountain demonstrate in front, which often draws a crowd to watch the fountains shooting as high 460 feet (140 meters) into the air, choreographed to lights and music.

The Hoover Dam, near the Arizona border and another Nevada tourist attraction, is temporarily closing to visitors “because of the nature of the structure and an inability to implement social distancing standards recommended by the” CDC, according to a statement.

With businesses closing and tourism expected to drop off, the state is forecasting a financial hit, but how big is unknown.
