Macau began another round of mass testing on Monday as the number of Covid cases continued to rise, topping 900.

The government said that 60 percent of the new cases that had been discovered were in the community, rather than in those under medical observation. It said that this means Covid is still circulating in the community.

There are 3,000 people in quarantine in the city’s mandated hotels, while a further 12,000 close contacts are being followed up by medical authorities.
