Starting tomorrow, quarantine for travellers entering Macao from Hong Kong, Taiwan and other foreign countries will be adjusted to 5+3, meaning five days in observation hotels – with a nucleic acid test (NAT) on the first four days – and three days’ home quarantine.

If they test negative on the fifth day, they will be allowed to leave the hotel for three days’ home quarantine. Arrivals’ health code will turn red and they will not be allowed to go out during that time except for attending daily NATs. If they don’t have a suitable place for the three days’ home quarantine, they can stay in a designated hotel for red health code holders.   

Travellers staying at home can either drive or take a taxi to one of the 13 NAT centres. If they test negative on the third day, their health code will return to green.

Anyone who is now in an observation hotels and has been in Macao for five days, starting from tomorrow, can either choose the old “7+3” measure or “5+3”.

Macao Government Tourism Office PR Director Liz Lam said: “As the measures will be gradually relaxed, I believe it will be attractive to tourists. We’re still communicating with the relevant hotels, so the number of hotels for red health code holders has yet to be confirmed.”

Mainland China announced earlier today its plan to cut the Covid-19 isolation period for inbound visitors from foreign countries from seven days of centralised quarantine plus three days of home monitoring to five days of centralised quarantine plus three days of hotel quarantine.
