Macau government planning to require negative test result to enter some businesses

The Macau government plans to introduce new measures requiring the presentation of a negative nucleic acid test (NAT) result to enter commercial establishments in the future, according to head of the Communicable Disease Prevention and Control Division of the Health Bureau (SSM), Leong Iek Hou.

The move comes as Macau reported zero confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the community for a third consecutive day, with total cases – including those in quarantine – down to single digits.

Despite the improved numbers, strict epidemic control measures remain in place including at casinos which reopened on Saturday but are limited to just 50% of usual staffing levels. As reported by Inside Asian Gaming, only a handful of gaming tables are currently of operational on the city’s once bustling gaming floors, while retail malls remain closed.
