Casinos and bingo halls in the province of Buenos Aires have been forced to shut down again due to a rise in COVID-19 cases. The latest measure affects all gambling venues within General Pueyrredon [region of Buenos Aires province], which had received an exemption to operate earlier this month.
Although the measures applied to all jurisdictions in Argentina, some provinces followed their own rules as they argued that their levels of infections are manageable.
In regards to General Pueyrredon, local authorities had decided that the gambling venues in Mar del Plata and the bingo halls in Pinamar, Necochea, Tres Arroyos, Ramallo and Olavarría could operate as long as they remained in step with Phase 4 of the reopening process.
