Although the inbound quarantine in Zhuhai was to end on October 1, authorities have decided to keep it in place until further notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
China.- Authorities in the city of Zhuhai have announced\u00a0that the mandatory 14-day quarantine<\/strong>\u00a0for visitors from Macau will be kept in place due to new Covid-19 cases in Macau in the past week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Although Zhuhai is one of the main gateways to Macau for mainland China visitors,\u00a0Ho Iat Seng, Macau\u2019s Chief Executive\u00a0<\/strong>has said that\u00a0an end to the inbound quarantine in Zhuhai<\/a>\u00a0would not be a \u201cmajor assistance\u201d for Macau\u2019s tourism sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Macau authorities were highly expectant about October’s Golden Week. However, local Covid-19 cases have put a dampener on predictions that the city could receive\u00a040,000 daily visitors<\/a>\u00a0during the holiday period. Analysts at JP Morgan Securities<\/strong>\u00a0believe\u00a0the October Golden Week<\/a>\u00a0will be deeply affected by new countermeasures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They said: \u201cWhile there\u2019s still a possibility that travel restrictions could be lifted before\/during Golden Week, we think it\u2019s a foregone conclusion that it will be an ungolden holiday<\/strong>, as many players are likely to cancel the trips to avoid risks of being quarantined upon their return to the mainland.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Although the inbound quarantine in Zhuhai was to end on October 1, authorities have decided to keep it in place until further notice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":21776,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"Zhuhai authorities have extended the mandatory 14-day quarantine for visitors from Macau due to new Covid-19 cases, significantly impacting Macau's tourism sector.
