Macau to quarantine travellers from Beijing

The city has responded to the Chinese capital raising the level of its state of emergency this week.

Macau.- The new outbreak of Covid-19 currently hitting Beijing has changed plans for Macau’s treatment of visitors.

The Macau government has announced that from June 17 all travellers that have been in Beijing will be required to quarantine for 14 days.

The quarantine would be passed at government-designated venues.

The measure comes in response to Beijing raising its state of emergency from level 2 to level 3 after a new surge in Covid-19 cases .

The authorities in Beijing have imposed a partial lockdown again, advising the city’s residents to avoid “non-essential” travel out of the capital.

China’s Global Times newspaper reported that more than 60 percent of commercial flights in and out of Beijing had been cancelled.

Tourism restrictions have heavily hit gaming revenues in Macau during the pandemic.
