Health Bureau (SSM) Control of Communicable Diseases and Surveillance of Diseases Department Coordinator Leong Iek Hou announced during Wednesday’s press conference that since Wednesday afternoon, all passengers of the bus service between the Macau checkpoint and the Hong Kong checkpoint of the delta bridge (colloquially known as “Golden Bus” service) have to undergo a temperature check before being allowed to board the bus.
Leong said that if a person’s temperature shows over 37.3 Celsius degrees, he or she will be transferred to the respective border checkpoint for follow-up action – at the Macau or Hong Kong side of the bridge.
Lei Wai Seng, a clinical director of the public hospital, said that all “Golden Bus” passengers will have to register their name for a seat in the bus in the near future, adding that the details on this measure will soon be announced by the Macau Transport Bureau (DSAT).
