New restrictions are being imposed as the country grapples to combat the aggressive surge in new COVID-19 cases

Illinois Closes Casino In New Efforts To Stop Virus Spread. Casinos and other gambling facilities around Illinois will be among the indoor entertainment venues that will have to close from Friday, November 20, under a number of new orders and restrictions issued by Governor J.B. Pritzker on Tuesday.

This is the second time that 10 casinos and other gambling houses in Illinois have been ordered to close to contain the spread of coronavirus. Governor Pritzker ordered all non-essential businesses to close in March, when the dangerous virus first broke out. The state's casinos were then allowed to resume operations at 50% capacity in early July. 경마

It remains to be seen when the facility can be restarted this time. Under a new order from Governor Pritzker, video gambling terminals in restaurants and other locations must also be closed from Friday.

In Illinois, indoor restaurant and bar services, including state casinos, are already banned. Under the new order, hotels will have to close their events and meeting spaces and limit room occupancy to registered guests. The fitness center must operate at 25% capacity only when it is scheduled, otherwise it must be closed.
