Anti-epidemic measures for people entering Macau. People returning to Macau from low-risk areas in the Mainland and normalized epidemic prevention and control areas are not required to undergo centralized isolation medical observation, but the requirements for nucleic acid testing and antigen testing have been strengthened.
People who come to Australia from high-risk areas in the Mainland still need to undergo medical observation.

Measures until 5 days from the day after leaving the low-risk area or leaving the country;
For example: when entering Macau on Monday, nucleic acid testing and rapid antigen testing are required on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and rapid antigen testing is only required on Friday, and verification inspection is not required; if you leave the country on Thursday, the measures will be implemented until Thursday until.
3. The measures for those who have only lived in the normal management area and directly entered the country from the mainland other than Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province are as follows:
