The ferry services connecting Outer Harbor Ferry Terminal and Taipa Maritime Terminal with Shenzhen’s Shekou Ferry Terminal will resume today after being suspended for nearly a month due to the projected intensity of Covid-19 conditions in Macau in early August. In the early days of the service resuming, there will be two to four ferry slots in each direction every day. The government reminds travelers to contact ferry operators for the latest schedules. Travelers are also reminded that coronavirus polymerase chain reaction test results and conversion of health codes are required for boarding and border clearance.
