Peermont’s flagship property, Emperors Palace is open for business.
Located next to OR Tambo International Airport, the Palace of Dreams reopens in accordance with provisions as stipulated by the Department of Health (DOH) and World Health Organisation (WHO).
Precautionary measures include, wearing a face mask or shield at all times and daily temperature screening.
Anyone with a temperature of 37.5ºC and higher will not be granted access to the property.
Other measures put in place are record keeping of guests at entrances, thorough and regular cleaning of all areas and touch points, and the deployment of extra hand sanitiser dispensers to key public areas.
The resort’s gaming activities will resume with a limited number of players per table games and alternate slot machines being disabled to ensure adherence to social distancing requirements.
To effectively manage capacity, access to the various gaming areas is limited to Winners Circle loyalty members.
In addition, protective screens have been placed at all Cash Desks including at the Winners Circle Desk.
“We have been working tirelessly to ensure, every possible measure is in place to ensure the health and safety of everyone who enters our property.
“That is why we have enforced a multi-layered set of protocols and procedures to safeguard the well-being and safety of our guests.
“Furthermore, our employees have been fully briefed and trained on best practices,” said Clive Tavener, complex operations executive at Emperors Palace.
