Health authorities announced that starting from 9:00pm on July 23 people entering or leaving Macau and who have been in Zhongshan City since July 19 or 14 days after will be required to present a certificate of a negative nucleic acid test taken in the previous 48 hours.
Macau residents who intend to enter the territory from Guangdong who are unable to submit a valid negative nucleic acid test report will immediately undergo a test and wait at the site for the test result.
Non-residents who are unable to submit a negative nucleic acid test report will not be allowed to enter the SAR.
Zhongshan, in South China’s Guangdong Province, announced that it would launch mass nucleic acid testing for COVID-19 and restrict transportation on Thursday after one positive case was found to be related to the recent small-scale outbreak at an international airport in Nanjing, East China’s Jiangsu Province.
After a string of local cases in Guangdong in the end of May, the same 48-hour requirement was applied to cross-border movements between the province in Macau but was subsquently lifted on July 10.
