According to MacauBusiness, authorities revealed information about the partial lockdown easing period that will start on that date with some businesses, public departments, and other essential operations being allowed a return to normal operations.

It is unclear when the casinos will be given permission to reopen. The casinos in Macau have been shut down since July 11.

However, Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture Elsie Ao Ieong U cited the ventilation capacity of casinos allowing for re-opening compared to other leisure businesses.
