The validity of the negative nucleic acid test (NAT) result for those entering Macau from Zhuhai has been shortened to just 24 hours from 48 hours, which took effect at 00:00 today, in the wake of the detection of new COVID-19 cases in the neighbouring city.
Macau’s Novel Coronavirus Response and Coordination Centre announced the measure in a statement yesterday.
The validity of the negative NAT result for those entering Zhuhai from Macau remains unchanged at seven days.
Yesterday’s statement by the centre said that the Macau government will constantly monitor Zhuhai’s COVID-19 situation “with the aim of raising the NAT validity for those entering Macau from Zhuhai back to 48 hours as soon as possible”.
