The Macau Special Administrative Region (MSAR) will further strengthen its epidemic prevention system and promote the stable recovery of its economy in the coming year, Chief Executive Ho Iat Seng said today.
The MSAR government will strive to raise the novel coronavirus vaccination rate among residents in order to build up herd immunity and take multiple measures to promote economic recovery and guarantee employment, Ho said in his 2022 Policy Address which he delivered in the hemicycle of the local legislature this afternoon.
Efforts will be made to improve plans for targeted epidemic control and citywide nucleic acid testing, build large-scale medical facilities for quarantine, he said.
The government will adopt a proactive fiscal policy and expand public investment, promote the recovery of tourism and external demand, and facilitate the steady development of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), Ho added.
