Resorts World Genting to Reopen from Today 19 Jun

Genting Malaysia has decided to reopen the Resorts World Genting (RWG) from today (June 19) after being closed for past three months. It was closed on March 18 due to the nationwide Movement Control Order (MCO) implemented by Mr. Muhyiddin Yassin, Prime Minister of Malaysia.

However, only Genting Rewards members are allowed to enter into the Sky Casino in SkyAvenue and Genting Club in Genting Grand Hotel due to limited capacity and it is said that public entry into the casino will resume as early as possible.

The move of reopening RWG came just days after the company decided to reopen non-gaming properties Resorts World Kijal and Resorts World Langkawi on Thursday (June 18). Moreover, the Awana Skyway cable car and Genting express buses are also allowed to resume their operations.

To ensure the health and safety of all guests and working staff, the Resorts World Genting will also put key health safety and COVID-19 prevention measures of in place. The protocols will cover cleaning & disinfection processes, social distancing measures and the deployment of service ambassadors.

The company said in an announcement posted on the RWG website, “We have re-engineered our processes and developed a comprehensive safety plan in line with the government’s guidelines and global best practices. Service ambassadors are specially trained customer-facing employees who will assist and guide returning guests on the resort’s enhanced safety measures.”

Guests are encouraged to download and register the MySejahtera Application, developed by the Government of Malaysia to assist in managing the COVID-19 outbreaks in the country, prior to their visit. Over and above, Genting Malaysia has also implemented MySejahtera Check-In at all its primary entrances and outlets throughout the resort.

It had also announced last month that completion of its new outdoor theme park will also be delayed due the impact of COVID-19 pandemic.

In regards to COVID-19 transmission in Malaysia, the country has reported a total number of 8,529 confirmed cases which are under treatment and 121 patients have lost their lives. However, 8,000 patients who tested positive to COVID-19 have completely recovered from the virus, as of Friday (June 19).
