A newly-confirmed Covid-19 case involving a Macau ID holder brought home on Thursday aboard one of two repatriating flights sanctioned but not chartered by the city’s government, will not put at risk Macau’s existing quarantine-free travel bubble covering most places in mainland China, a Macau health official said on Friday.
“This time – in a fully-controlled setting – we were able to detect this [Covid-19] case immediately… This does not affect our existing travel ties with the various places within mainland China,” said Alvis Lo Iek Long, clinical director at Macau public health facility Conde S. Januário Hospital, at the Friday press briefing.
