The Novel Coronavirus Response and Coordination Centre urges all people in Macao to cooperate by self-administering one rapid antigen test for novel coronavirus (hereinafter referred to as the “rapid antigen test”) today and tomorrow (25 and 26 June), respectively. If the rapid antigen test result is positive, in addition to declaring it through Macao Health Code, one should call an ambulance by phone at 119, 120 or 2857 2222 to go to Conde de São Januário Hospital to undergo a nucleic acid test as soon as possible, regardless of whether having a fever or respiratory symptoms or not.
In addition, any individual who has a positive rapid antigen test result and the individual(s) living together are not allowed to leave home. The authorities will arrange a nucleic acid test in a unified manner. Members of the public are also reminded to pay attention to the following while waiting for pick-up:
- One must wear a face mask and stay at home to wait for the arranged transport to the quarantine site. One must not go out and use public transport.
- During the wait at home, one should avoid contact with the individual(s) living together. Each person should stay in one room as much as possible.
- One must not go to the nucleic acid testing station to undergo the test, including the mass nucleic acid test.
