Sheraton Grand Macao is once again being utilized as a medical observation hotel.
The Macau SAR government announced on Sunday that the Pousada Marina Infante Hotel, which has been used as a quarantine hotel since the outbreak of COVID-19 and was the only one of 12 hotels still in use, had reached capacity with the Sheraton Grand Macao now being utilized once again.
As before, a special area comprising 2,000 of Sheraton Grand Macao’s 4,000 rooms has been isolated for quarantine purposes with Macau’s health authority sending personnel to guide preparatory works and close off all passages connecting with shopping malls, restaurants and other hotels in Sands China’s Cotai precinct.
Sheraton Grand Macao was first named as Macau’s 12th quarantine venue on 27 March, providing up to 2,000 rooms for the government to use to house people undergoing mandatory 14-day quarantine. However, only 500 rooms were used the first time around.
Those entering quarantine are mainly Macau citizens returning home from overseas.
