New measure aims to halt spread of Covid-19 in quarantine hotels, as previously arrivals checked in after being tested.
Health chief Leong Iek Hou says arrivals from the mainland may be required to have been vaccinated against the novel coronavirus at some stage in the future.
Health officials advise travellers to double check new entry measures; PSP urge Zhuhai commuters to stick to workplace, home and testing stations.
Patients, both in their 40s and both double-jabbed, were classed as imported and asymptomatic cases and remain in medical isolation.
Medical workers at full stretch – nine more patients die, 7,000 preliminary positive infections recorded, another 20 care homes affected.
Plans in hand to boost testing capacity, build more treatment facilities and ensure stable supply of fresh food and other necessities.
Women, who are 57 and 25, both in isolation; cases judged imported and asymptomatic, so Macao’s tally stays at 79.
Quarantine awaits the 40 arrivals, who had been faced with nowhere to live; another 60 due to follow soon.
