The Macau government has called on affected Macau residents to refrain from returning to work or study for the time being in response to new Covid-19 cases logged in neighboring Zhuhai.
A recent statement from the Education and Youth Development Bureau (DSEDJ) noted workers and students at all local schools in the affected area in Zhuhai will be exempted from work or school from October 8.
For now, phases 2 and 3 of the Huafa New City integrated estate in Nanping Township are being strictly managed.
Those living in Zhuhai but not in the affected estate should limit their travel when commuting between home and school, and while on holiday.
The Social Welfare Bureau (IAS) has released a similar statement with identical requirements. The IAS requirements concern workers and users at social welfare facilities, such as subsidized nurseries and homes for the elderly.
The government has suggested people who have been to Block 98, Phase 2 of the Huafa New City on or after October 4, or several other locations in Zhuhai, should enter centralized quarantine.
Some will be required to test regularly on the first, second, fourth and seventh days of their departure from restricted areas in Zhuhai.
Another government statement indicated that certain preventative measures have been implemented on civil servants with a recent travel history outside of Guangdong Province or in Shenzhen. Such measures have included, but have not been limited to, two SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid tests 24-hours apart in three days.
