Macau-based Portuguese bank BNU has donated 100,000 patacas (US$12,500) to the Holy House of Mercy of Macau (SCMM) to help the Macanese fraternity support the government’s measures against the novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) epidemic.
There are no plans yet to bring the 124 local residents stranded in Hubei province, the epicentre of the COVID-19 outbreak, back to Macau.
The Macau government started on Saturday its fourth round of selling facemasks to residents and non-resident workers at the fixed price of 8 patacas (US$1) for 10 masks.
Health Bureau (SSM) Director Lei Chin Ion said that the risk of the COVID-19 epidemic in Macau “can be regarded” as having been reduced “for the time being”, after the city has not confirmed a new COVID-19 case for more than two weeks.
There is no “back to school” schedule for non-tertiary education yet as the date would depend on Macau and its surrounding areas’ COVID-19 situation.
