Macau retains 24-hour testing requirement for arrivals as Zhuhai and Guangzhou on high alert over COVID-19

Macau has maintained its short 24-hour validity period on negative COVID-19 tests for people entering from Zhuhai amid concerns over a number of cases in its neighboring cities in recent days.

Authorities in Macau had claimed that the virus test validity for visitors would revert from 24 hours to 48 hours if Zhuhai did not report any local COVID-19 cases for seven consecutive days. The last local case in Zhuhai was found on 3 April.

However, both Zhuhai and Guangzhou remain on high alert with Guangzhou reporting “at least” 11 COVID-19 cases on Friday, at least two of which were the Omicron variant.

As a result, Macau’s Novel Coronavirus Response and Coordination Center announced Sunday that the current 24-hours validity will remain in place.
