Yesterday morning, six people were injured in a series of car accidents at the Guia Hill tunnel, according to the Public Security Police Force (PSP). The first accident was reported to the police authority at 8:43 a.m., when two motorbikes crashed, separately, inside the tunnel. The two accidents then triggered another three crashes involving four light vehicles, one taxi, and seven motorbikes. All of the injured parties were driving motorbikes. Five of them needed hospital treatment. Due to the multiple accidents, police officers and firefighters temporarily closed the affected lane for nearly two hours. According to a report by TDM, the PSP’s preliminary investigation showed that the accidents were most likely caused by an oil leak from a public bus.

Lawmaker urges no more Covid-19 tests for border crossing
Lawmaker Mak Soi Kun has written to the local government asking for the return to complete normality in terms of immigration measures between Macau and Zhuhai. Mak said that both Macau and Zhuhai’s Covid-19 situations are stable and that, as part of the Greater Bay Area, the SAR government can negotiate with Guangdong’s relevant departments to change the current policies. Mak explicitly proposed that Zhuhai and Macau residents no longer be required to take Covid-19 tests to cross the borders between the two places. He wants Macau and Zhuhai to be pioneering cities in lifting the mandatory Covid-19 test requirement. Mak also said that, should Macau and Zhuhai show any signs of new Covid-19 cases, the local government can immediately revert back to mandatory testing.
