The Macau government has announced that from 15 October, people entering Macau from foreign countries, Hong Kong and Taiwan will be required to undergo four days of self-health management and four consecutive days of testing after completing seven days of quarantine.
Previously, those entering were required to undergo seven days of isolation and three days of self-health management, as well as taking five NAT tests within seven days of completion of isolation.
The latest circular from the Macau Health Bureau has abolished the three days of self-health management and five tests, and replaced it with four days of self-health management and four consecutive days of testing.
The circular also states that, according to the latest scientific data on the infectiousness of COVID-19, the quarantine period will be changed from a minimum of 10 days to a minimum of seven days for those who have tested positive upon entry or during quarantine, provided they are no longer infectious.
The Macau government previously opened up entry into Macau to 41 countries, although quarantine is still required after entry. However, Hong Kong, which is just across the sea from Macau, abolished its quarantine policy on 26 September and re-opened its doors to foreigners.
