The Liaison Office of the Macau SAR has confirmed it will proactively express to the Beijing government the wishes of the Macau public to resume border operations between Macau and Guangdong Province.
Despite rumors last month that mandatory quarantine measures between the two jurisdictions may have been lifted by early June, the measures still remain in place as gaming operators and local businesses await further news.
According to local Chinese media, the head of the Coordination Department of the Macau Liaison Office, Fu Tie Sheng, spoke at a meeting with a local association last Saturday, revealing the Office has been among those actively pushing to reopen the borders.
However, Fu said Guangdong Province needs to further adjust its policies due to added COVID-19 preventive work and urged the Macau public to be “confident and patient.”
Normal operations between Macau and Guangdong have been suspended for over two months now after Guangdong imposed a 14-day mandatory quarantine on certain arrivals from Macau on 27 March.
Macau SAR Chief Executive Ho Iat Seng visited Guangdong leaders last week to express his own desire for the borders to open.
