In light of the public health concerns associated with the new strain of coronavirus outbreak, Melco Resorts & Entertainment announced that it is working with the government to donate HKD20 million to support initiatives for Wuhan and Hubei.
The donation will be used to purchase medical supplies including face masks and hand sanitizers, as well as to support the local community as needed.
As cited in a statement issued by the gaming operator, Lawrence Ho, chairman and CEO of Melco, said, “We hope this donation helps accelerate the preventive measures to contain the spread of the virus.”
The company has stringent operational protocols in place to safeguard the wellbeing of all visitors and colleagues across its properties. As previously announced, Melco has deferred all non-essential business travel until further notice and will postpone a number of events until it is clear that public health concerns no longer persist.
