\"CrownAfter an increase in COVID-19 cases in Australia, Crown Resorts<\/a> has requested mandatory vaccination for its staff and guests. The hotel staff will require proof of immunisation from its guests prior to their admission. The same rules will apply to resort staff. Steve McCann<\/strong>, Crown\u2019s CEO, has confirmed that the policy is now set in motion at Crown Resorts locations in Perth, Melbourne, and Sydney.<\/p>\n

As mentioned, both resort staff and patrons who want to play games such as pokies<\/a> will need to submit proof of vaccination (the so-called vaccination passports) upon entrance, as that is the only way to ensure a safe work and gambling environment for everyone involved. McCann took over the CEO position from Ken Barton<\/strong> and now faces a new series of problems, as Crown Resorts is simultaneously fighting to keep its gaming licences<\/a>.<\/p>\n

By opting for mandatory immunisation, Crown Resorts is implementing one of the strictest policies in the country. However, it seems to be positively reflecting on the working staff, as more than 10,000 employees have been fully vaccinated. That means 50% of the Crown Resorts workforce has passed the vaccination check<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
