Atlantis announced on Friday that it will postpone its reopening “as the growing number of confirmed COVID-19 cases reported across the resort’s key US markets continues to rise”.
The Paradise Island resort, which had previously planned to reopen on July 30, said in a statement it is tracking new information daily and will share reopening updates on its website and social media channels. No new planned date for reopening has been given.
“We have made the difficult decision to extend Atlantis’ closure, prioritising the health and safety of our team, our guests, and our community first,” said Audrey Oswell, President and Managing Director of Atlantis. “While we are excited and energised by the opportunity to welcome our guests with warm Bahamian hospitality, we believe that extending our closure is in the best interest of public health at this time.
“During the extended closure, we will continue to make improvements to the resort, including the renovation of The Royal guestrooms.”
The resort also announced its partnership with the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic and launched the Atlantis Clean & Safe Promise to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of resort guests and Atlantis team members. The Atlantis Clean & Safe Promise will ensure the resort’s cleaning and sanitisation policies meet or exceed operational standards when they reopen.

They looked at the bookings and realized what Bahamar and all the others figured out.

All of this makes Minnis and D'Aguilar look like the dumber than dumb dangerous arses that they are.

I think Atlantis was referring to the increased cases in the US, not The Bahamas

I don't think that distinction is going to matter any when our very resource constrained healthcare system becomes completely overwhelmed with Covid-19 hospitalizations. Minnis and D'Aguilar should have kept our borders closed to all travellers from the US while Covid-19 community spread is totally out of control in many states in the US, especially Florida. That's just plain common sense!

Yes you are right. And it makes minnis look like an idiot for reopening the borders....
Get it?

Simply they can't open until the required covid tests are discontinued. Simple as that. Governments move.

US infections completely out of control due to mismanagement by all levels of government. We don't need that here. Good and prudent move by Atlantis

I too tip my hat to the executive team at Atlantis for not wanting to make any worse the very dangerous situation that Minnis and D'Aguilar have foolishly put us all in by prematurely reopening our borders to travellers from the US at a time when much of that country, which is our main tourist market, is ablaze with out-of-control community spread of the deadly Communist China Virus.
