The local government has taken multiple steps to monitor developments and respond locally to reports of a cluster of pneumonia cases in Wuhan, the capital city of Hubei province, the Macau Government Information Bureau (GCS) said in a statement yesterday.
“The steps have been taken in order to minimise the risk of such cases having any impact on Macau,” the statement said.
The statement noted that the local government issued on Sunday a Level 3 alert in response to the Wuhan pneumonia outbreak. The alert level means that the risk of a public emergency is at “moderate” level, indicating public health factors – of either environmental or technological origin – requiring firm follow-up action by the local authorities, the statement pointed out.
