Shanghai has loosened its Covid-19 prevention measures for travelers from Macau, no longer requiring arrivals to undergo a weeklong central and three-day home quarantine. According to authorities, arrivals from Macau must possess two negative nucleic acid test (NAT) certificates and report to neighborhood committees, companies or hotels within 12 hours of arriving. The measures are similar to Zhuhai’s requirements for Macau arrivals, which require them to present a negative NAT certificate from the 24 hours prior to their arrival. Upon arrival, travelers are also asked to take a PCR test twice within three days.
