Macau eases Covid-19 measures for people arriving outside mainland China
The government of Macau has relaxed Covid-19 measures for those arriving from outside mainland China. As reported by the city’s Novel Coronavirus Response and Coordination Center, since October 15, arrivals from outside mainland China are no longer required to undergo a four-day period of so-called “self-health monitoring” after completing the “self-management” phase.
Authorities have reduced the total number of Covid-19 nucleic acid tests that travellers from outside mainland China must undergo in the days after they are released from quarantine. People are now required to take four tests in the first four days after being released from quarantine. Currently, five nucleic acid tests are required within seven days.
The announcements come amid statements by different experts about a possible extension of the zero-Covid policy of mainland China, at least until next year, which means a continued drawn-out recovery for Macau’s gaming industry.
