HONG KONG — Macau is planning to gradually reopen the city to foreign travelers from certain countries who meet its COVID-19 criteria, its government said on Thursday.
Last month, Macau‘s government said people could enter the neighboring mainland Chinese city of Zhuhai without quarantine, a further relaxation of stringent COVID-19 policies as the world’s biggest gambling hub seeks a return to normalcy.
Authorities reopened public services and entertainment facilities in Macau, a Chinese special administrative region, on Tuesday.
People leaving Macau for Zhuhai must have a certificate that shows a negative COVID-19 test within the past 24 hours and take further two tests within three days of arriving in the Chinese city, the government said in a statement.
