Customer-facing staff in hotel, entertainment, dining and retail industries need to undergo NAT once every two days.

A building is now classified as a Yellow Code Zone if one household has been diagnosed with Covid-19, while buildings with at least two households diagnosed with the virus will now be classified as Red Code Zones.
Newest cases: cabbie’s wife, neighbour, wife of man who ate in same restaurant as cabbie, and fellow diner; two other cases are mainland Chinese worker and his wife who works at Wynn Palace.
Initially implemented for one week starting 16 November, measure was extended until today, and re-extended due to current Covid-19 situation; Macao International Marathon still on schedule.
Under-threes exempt; those who have not left the city but have undertaken a NAT on the same day are not required to do RAT on that day.
First test must be done today or tomorrow, second on 1 December, and third on 3 December; only infants and toddlers aged under three are exempt.
New measure sparked by severity of pandemic across the border; anyone failing to take test will see health code turn yellow on fourth day, red on fifth.
