Covid-19: Macau To Drop Related Mask Requirements For Most Locations

Authorities in Macau, the world’s biggest gambling hub, said on Sunday, February 26 that they would drop Covid-19 related mask requirements for most locations, except for public transportation, hospitals and a handful of other areas.

The rule change takes effect from Monday, the government said in a statement on its website. “The epidemic situation in Macau has continuously remained stable over the last two months. Making reference from the anti-epidemic experience worldwide, the Novel Coronavirus Response and Coordination Centre will adjust its mask-wearing requirements.”

The government of Macau said that individuals who develop flu-like symptoms should wear a mask when going out and that members of the public should carry face masks with them when commuting around the city.
