SkyCity Entertainment has announced that it will require proof of COVID-19 vaccinations for entry to any of its venues in Adelaide, with effect from Thursday 10 February.
This measure applies to all employees and patrons aged 18 and older who intend to enter gaming venues and anyone over the age of 16 at non-gaming venues. All will be required to show proof of full vaccination or a medical exemption to gain entry.
This covers venues within the casino and hotel Eos by SkyCity, as well as bars and restaurants like Sol, iTL, Madame Hanoi and Sean’s Kitchen, to name a few.
David Christian, the COO at SkyCity shared that this move is part of the company’s intention to ensure that it employs the most stringent levels of protection against COVID-19 and to secure the health and safety of its staff and customers.
“As one of Adelaide’s largest single-site entertainment venues and as a significant employer, we need to take measures to help keep everyone safe,” he said.
“While we have existing robust health and safety measures in place to limit the risk of exposure to COVID-19, public health information and research confirms that COVID-19 vaccines provide the best protection for our employees and customers. SkyCity has been significantly impacted by the outbreak, and we have been encouraging our people to get vaccinated at the earliest opportunity.
“We would like to thank our highly valued employees and customers for their understanding,” he concluded.
Customers will need to show their COVID-19 digital certificate via their smart device or with photo identification accompanied by a printed certificate. Any customers with official medical exemptions will similarly need tooffer appropriate proof.
