Macao tightens restrictions on non-resident arrivals

Macao will ban all visitors from the Chinese mainland, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) and Taiwan who have traveled overseas from entering the region starting Wednesday, Ho Iat Seng, chief executive of the Macao SAR, said at a press briefing on Tuesday.

Anyone who has visited Hong Kong and Taiwan within 14 days before their entry to Macao is required to undergo a 14-day medical observation at a place designated by health authorities, added Ho.
