The Macau government has imposed 14-day mandatory quarantine on all arrivals from Beijing, the Portuguese-language radio channel of public broadcaster TDM reported today.
According to the report, the measure took effect at noon today, citing a source of the Macau Health Bureau (SSM).
Beijing's airports cancelled more than 1,200 flights and schools in the nation's capital were closed again yesterday, as authorities rushed to contain a new novel coronavirus outbreak linked to a wholesale food market.
The city reported 31 new cases yesterday, while officials urged residents not to leave Beijing, with fears growing about a second wave of infections in China, which had largely brought its outbreak under control, Hong Kong's public broadcaster RTHK and French newswire AFP reported today.
Tens of thousands of people linked to the new Beijing virus cluster – believed to have started in the sprawling Xinfadi wholesale food market – are being tested, with almost 30 residential compounds in the city now under lockdown, according to the reports.
