Taipa and Coloane Community Service Consultative Council member Lam Ka Chun said that the council’s members are concerned about the current vehicular restrictions when entering the Lotus Flower Bridge en route to the Macao side of the Hengqin checkpoint.
From 6 am today, all those arriving in Macao from Hong Kong must present a nucleic acid test certificate confirming that they have tested negative for Covid-19 within the past 72 hours, otherwise they will be refused entry.
Macao residents and non-resident workers whose Macao Health Code indicates green and displays a valid nucleic acid test (NAT) certificate can now be exempted from medical examinations and health inspections by Macao Health Bureau (SSM) staff and directly pass through e-channels at the checkpoint.
Those entering Macau from Zhuhai urged to give up the idea of being taken to the local government’s nucleic acid testing station at the Taipa Ferry Terminal in Pac On for a COVID-19 test by not obtaining a valid nucleic acid test certificate in advance in the mainland prior to their arrival here.
20,000 non-resident workers are covered by the newly-announced exemption from the current 14-day quarantine imposed on non-resident workers from the mainland.
The Macau government on Saturday eased COVID-19 entry restrictions for non-resident workers living in Zhuhai.
Two of Macau’s main border checkpoints will resume their normal operating hours at 6 a.m. Sunday.
from next Monday local and mainland residents as young as seven can use the e-channels to pass through all local border checkpoints.
