Macau's famous casinos have to close their doors due to the corona lockdown.
CHINA'S special administrative region of Macau has expanded its corona restrictions.
In Macau, its famous casinos and non-essential businesses are closed. Macau is the only city in China where gambling is allowed, and casinos are the lifeblood of the city's economy.
Authorities tightened measures in mid-June after more than 1,500 infections had been recorded in the previous three weeks, despite several mandatory mass testing.
The restrictions were supposed to be lifted on Monday, but as the number of cases increased, they were extended.
According to the authorities, more than 1,700 cases of illness have been registered in Macau.
The numbers are small, but the strict restrictions reflect China's zero-tolerance line when it comes to the coronavirus.
