Changes to the Macao Health Code Page today will simplify the display of people’s latest NAT status.
The Novel Coronavirus Response and Coordination Centre said the changes include the updated Macao Health Code displaying the section “Nucleic acid test (For border-crossing purpose)”, instead of showing the expiration date of one’s negative NAT report for travelling to and from Guangdong province and the Hong Kong SAR right under “Nucleic acid test result”.
Relevant information, the Centre added, will be provided on a pop-up window by selecting “Click here to view the respective expiry dates for travelling to different areas”.
The Centre underlined that a “Nucleic acid test (Not for border-crossing purpose)” section will be added to the health code page that shows “the last NAT sampling date and time, and the last report date, time, and result within seven days”. This includes NAT tests conducted in Macao and those conducted in mainland China where Macao Health Code conversion is possible.
The Centre also said that the enquiry system for NAT sampling records and test results launched during the early rounds of the citywide NAT drive will be shut down simultaneously with the launch of the improved health code’s interface. As a result, members of the public will be able to check their NAT sampling records and test results through the health code with “greater convenience”.
The Centre pointed out that the “time of last sampling is not chronologically related to the time of the last report”.
As an example, if a person completed their NAT and obtained the result on the previous day, when they take another NAT the next morning, their last sampling record would be according to the date and time of the test conducted the next morning, and the last report date would be that of the test conducted on the previous day, The Macau Post Daily reported.
