now takes effect:
people who have been to Chengdu, Shenyang or Dalian on or after July 17 will be converted to a yellow code after entering Macau. During this period, they must undergo nucleic acid testing at intervals of 1, 2, 3, or 5 days apart until 14 days after they leave the local area.
The latest epidemic prevention measures announced by
are tightened in response to the epidemic, including requiring people who take flights directly to Macau from different provinces and cities in the mainland to hold a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours before boarding the plane, and expand the scope of the definition of medium and high-risk areas. In the past, it has only been transformed to define the entire city as medium and high-risk areas to define the entire city as medium and high-risk. This is a major change in response to changes in the epidemic.
At the same time, strengthening measures are also taken for some areas not defined as medium and high risks, requiring people from this specific area to undergo viral nucleic acid testing every 1, 2, 3 and 5 days until 14 days after the relevant person leaves the specific area.
For example: people entering Macau only after leaving a specific area 10 days, and only need to take the first 4-day epidemic prevention requirements after entering the country; but if they arrive directly from a specific area, they need to complete the 14-day epidemic prevention measures according to the above nucleic acid interval, which will be more in line with the law of the 14-day incubation period of the virus.
Response Coordination Center added that the risk levels in mainland provinces and cities vary, and the epidemic will also undergo dynamic changes. The authorities will pay close attention to the latest epidemics in various regions. The latest series of measures have been taken to expand the division of risk areas, hoping to protect Macau communities better through strengthening measures.
