Macau’s gaming revenue could be hurt by the pneumonia virus outbreak in China, Chinese news outlet Ming Pao quoted SJM CEO Ambrose So.

Casino workers have been instructed to wear facemasks to help offset the spread of the disease and body scanners are being used at all entrances to check temperatures of anyone entering a casino.
