According to the Secretary, most of the non-residents work in construction, catering, hotels and cleaning. “Macau has a large number of non-resident workers who work in Macau and live in China,” he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The SAR has confirmed its first case of Coronavirus in a resident, taking the total number of cases to eight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Authorities have determined that the best way to prevent the virus from spreading further is to make people stay in the city and prevent them from travelling to mainland China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The government has said that operators must offer such workers accommodation or stop them from travelling to Macau from mainland China. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The secretary for Social Affairs and Culture, Ao Ieong U, said that “the population must remain at home and avoid unnecessary exits.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
