British Columbia officials have announced that they will require COVID-19 vaccinations in Canada's Pacific provinces for anyone attending social events or going to popular attractions such as casinos.
Vaccine mandates will begin on September 9.Authorities announced the order on Monday as the number of cases in the state increased sharply in the last seven weeks. On July 13, there were an average of 7 cases per day for 7 days. On July 4, there were 7 cases per day, but on Tuesday it reached 1 cases.
According to data from COVID-19 Tracker Canada, more than 12% of British Columbia's eligible populations aged 76.1 and over, or 12 million of the state's population aged 350 and over, are fully vaccinated. Nevertheless, there is a sharp increase in the number of patients.
"State health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said," Vaccination rates continue to rise, but there is a wave of infections, especially among those who are not completely vaccinated. "These new measures are infections. To reduce the number of people, keep the community safe, keep the business going, and enjoy the social events that are needed safely.
Within three weeks, anyone wishing to go to the casino will receive instructions on how to upload their vaccination records to the online portal. If you are vaccinated by the September 3 deadline, you will be able to attach the record to your mobile phone and present it when you enter the casino.
Those who have been vaccinated by September 9th can spend time in public with other vaccinated people.However, by October 13th, all residents will have to be fully vaccinated.
The mandate is until January 1, but authorities say it could be extended.
British Columbia casino is working hard to implement
This mandate affects 19 casinos and 18 Bingo Halls or Community Gaming Centers.Of these, nine facilities operated by Great Canadian Gaming Corp. and 9 facilities operated by Gateway Casinos will be affected by this order.
Great Canadian Gaming社のステークホルダーリレーションズと責任あるゲームを担当する執行副社長のChuck Keeling氏はCasino.orgに対し、「BC州の施設では、9月13日からゲストからの予防接種証明を導入するための最善の運用方法を現在検討しています」と述べています。The BC casino was closed in March 19, when the COVID-2020 pandemic broke out, and remained closed until the end of June this year, a 3-month closure that affected thousands of workers. ..
British Columbia is not the first to call for a mandatory vaccine.Last week, Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York City issued a similar order to businesses in the city.From a gaming perspective, there is only one casino in New York called "Resort World New York City" at the Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens.
Earlier this month, Mayor LaToya Cantrell of New Orleans asked those who went to indoor facilities, including Harrah's New Orleans, to submit vaccination records or recent negative reactions.The order came into effect last week, but not until earlier this week.
Of course you also need a mask
British Columbia's health authorities have taken more than just mandatory vaccinations to stop the spread of the virus.On Tuesday, it was announced that masks would be required to be worn from Wednesday.
The mandatory mask does not specify a casino like the mandatory vaccination, but the state has announced that people over the age of 12 must wear a mask indoors, with or without vaccination. The casino is basically the target.
Some casinos in the state, such as River Rock Casino Resort, Grand Villa Casino and Cascades Casino Kamloops, have already posted on their websites that they are required to wear a mask upon admission.
