This is just to inform our dear readers and advertisers that the size of the print edition of our - your - newspaper will have to remain at 12 pages for the time being, considering the very serious situation caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic. Two of our team members – who work for our design section – are stuck on the mainland, which has immensely complicated the production of our print edition.
Consequently, our popular Weekender liftout cannot be published for the time being. We hope we have your understanding. We would also like to appeal to our advertisers both from the public and private sectors to continue publishing their print and/or online notices and advertisement during this very difficult period for all of us who are running a business.
We would also like to remind our readers and advertisers that our website www.macaupostdaily.com is constantly updated 24/7 with the latest developments about the COVID-19 threat. Since Chinese New Year’s Eve more than 100 news articles have already been published about Macau’s response to the viral menace on our website so that all of you can keep up to date about the crisis. Anyhow, let’s all of us stay positive and remain upbeat. I am sure that we can – as President Xi Jinping has rightly said – slay this “devil” virus before long and gradually return to normalcy. And always wear a facemask when out and about. I do!
