Macao to lift restrictions on casino access for people who have been to Hubei

The Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) government said on Monday that it would lift restrictions on access to casinos for people who've been to Hubei Province on the Chinese mainland, starting from 12:00 a.m. local time Tuesday.

The Macao SAR government issued the restriction in January, prohibiting visitors from Hubei and those that have been to Hubei within 14 days of their arrival in Macao from entering casinos over COVID-19 concerns.

In addition, a statement by the Macao SAR government said that 14-day medical observation will no longer be put on visitors from the Chinese mainland effective from Monday.

This adjustment is based on the assessment of the overall changes in the epidemic situation in the Chinese mainland, said the Macao SAR government.
