Macao’s oldest Covid-19 patient is a chronically ill 94-year-old woman from a nursing home in Ha Van district.
She is one of three cases at the facility, which is home to 58 senior citizens and 76 staff, and run by the welfare organisation Mothers’ Work (known as Obra das Mães in Portuguese).
According to Social Welfare Bureau (IAS) official Choi Sio Un, the other two carriers are a nurse and a carer.
Choi said that since the implementation of a “closed-loop management” measure at the nursing home on Saturday last week, all three people had been staying there without leaving the premises.
Choi said that from now on all staff and senior citizens living in the nursing home will undergo two nucleic acid tests every day, The Macau Post Daily reported
