HONG KONG (AFP): Macau casino shares plunged on Monday (July 11) as the Chinese city embarked on a week-long lockdown to curb its worst coronavirus outbreak while neighbouring Hong Kong said it was mulling a mainland-style health code system.
Share prices of six gaming conglomerates -- Sands China, Galaxy Entertainment, SJM Holdings, Melco International, MGM China and Wynn Macau -- dropped by between six to nearly nine per cent on Monday morning trade.
