The Story
With the Wuhan Coronavirus continuously spreading, it’s beginning to impact the businesses of gambling operators and several Macau-based companies have seen sudden drop in share prices. As China increasingly restricts travel, the Associated Press has noted that Macau resort companies like Wynn Resorts saw an 8.1% drop in their share price, Las Vegas Sands dropped 6.7%, and MGM Resorts saw a 3.9% hit. The Philippines, which has no confirmed cases but 24 monitored ones, has already taken the step of suspending arrival visas for Chinese nationals. Additionally, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation has also called for quarantines on Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) employees in an effort to prevent the spread of the virus in the country.
