In February, more than 75% of the city’s shipping packages contained masks, according to the Macao Post and Telecommunications Bureau (CTT).
Last month, the postal authority sent out over 10,000 express parcels, 7,500 of which contained facemasks. In turn, 60% of ordinary shipping packages contained facemasks.
While most sectors have slowed down their operations during the epidemic, the Macau postal authority reported an increase of 20% to 30% in the number of packages.
On Saturday, the local government will repatriate residents currently waiting in Hubei. As of yesterday, the local government has already shipped over 100 packages to Hubei for Macau residents who are still in the mainland province.
These packages primarily contain facemasks, sanitizers, milk powder and medicines.
In order to ensure that the packages arrive safely, the postal authority has been fully committed to tracking them. Every Macau resident targeted eventually received this package, according to the CTT.
In addition, from March 1, the CTT started using a special stamp on every parcel leaving Macau.
According to CTT Director Lau Meng Wai, the stamps are themed with epidemic prevention measures in order to remind Macau local residents to undertake preventative measures. JZ
