Grand Coloane Resort to be listed as quarantine hotel again

The Grand Coloane Resort is again gearing up to resume its role as a quarantine facility soon and house the foreseeable influx of arrivals in Macau — probably starting this week.
The reason the resort was enlisted again was to ramp up the number of quarantine shelters in the city to prepare for the imminent increase in arrivals in the city.
“Most of them wish to return to Macau this week in the nick of time so that they can come out of quarantine to enjoy Christmas two weeks later,” a credible source disclosed to the Times.
However, the representative of the resort’s communication team refused to officially confirm the new policy.
Meanwhile, a social group on Facebook stated that it would have to cancel its upcoming annual event at the hotel, confirming that the resort “has been designated as a quarantine hotel.”
The 208-room hotel, located on Coloane island, was the fourth hotel designated as a quarantine facility since March 20. It has been removed from the city’s quarantine facility list since early April this year.
As of now, all arrivals, including local citizens, are required to observe a 14-day quarantine at a designated hotel. Quarantine is free for locals but each non-local is charged a total of MOP5,600. Staff Reporter
