Caesars Windsor says it will temporarily close on Monday.

Caesars Windsor is the largest casino resort in Canada and the first of its kind outside of the U.S. To be branded with this legendary, world-renowned name. Under the province's Stage 3 reopening guidelines, casinos are able to open as long as they set a 50 guest limit, CBC News reports. Despite Windsor-Essex having moved into Stage 3 on Aug. 12, the casino chose to wait before reopening. Caesars Windsor typically holds 10,000 people and employs more than 2,000 people in the region.

Caesars Windsor in Windsor, Ontario, Canada is one of four casinos in the Detroit–Windsor area and was opened in 1994 on the waterfront of the Detroit River. Owned by the Government of Ontario (through the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation), it is operated by Caesars Entertainment.

The closure of the casino comes as Windsor-Essex moves into the red or 'control' level of Ontario's COVID-19 response framework Monday. Under the level, casinos and other gaming establishments are permitted a maximum of 10 patrons indoors and table games are prohibited, among other measures. The current maximum patrons permitted inside is 50.

In a statement to CBC News, Susanne Tomkins, Caesars Windsor manager of public relations and communications, said the closure is a result of the upcoming new restrictions.
