The Novel Coronavirus Response and Coordination Centre announces the conclusion of the 12th round of Citywide NAT programme, which was held from 08:00 on 20 July to 19:00 on 21 July. During the period, 669,234 samples were collected, and their results are available.
The total of mixed samples tested positive stands at 1; after re-test on single sample, 1 person was found positive, while the rest are negative.
Meanwhile, the 13th round of Citywide NAT has already begun at 08:00 today (22 July). Each participating resident will be given a pack of 10 KN95 masks and 5 rapid antigen tests; re-collection would not be available. Residents are urged to proactively cooperate with the Government, book and complete the test as soon as possible, so that potential cases can be detected in a timely manner, making it possible to block transmission chains and prevent further spread of the disease in the community.
The booking link of the Citywide NAT Programme is: https://eservice.ssm.gov.mo/allpeoplernatestbook ; relevant test results will not be displayed on the Macao Health Code, and cannot be used for immigration purposes. If necessary, citizens may click on the link at the bottom of the Macao Health Code’s homepage, or enter this link: https://eservice.ssm.gov.mo/rnachecker to inquire records and results of the citywide NATs or self-paid NATs in the recent 2 days. Sampling records can be found even if relevant results are still unavailable.
For those who get tested at self-paid NAT stations, their test results will be uploaded to the Macao Health Code for immigration purposes, and will be counted in the citywide NAT programme. Prior booking is also strictly required (link: https://eservice.ssm.gov.mo/rnatestbook/V21/ or https://app.ssm.gov.mo/prsranbook/Booking/Booking?lang=ch or https://app.ssm.gov.mo/airportprsrnabook ).
Before going to the NAT stations to get tested, the public must first perform a rapid antigen test (RAT) by themselves at home. If tested negative, go to the NAT station for sampling as scheduled. Upon entry into the NAT station, present a health code containing a RAT negative result or a photo showing a RAT negative result; otherwise, such entry would be denied.
If the RAT result is positive, regardless of whether having fever, respiratory symptoms or other discomfort, the concerned individual should call an ambulance (Tel: 119, 120 or 28572222) and report the result through the Macao Health Code. The declarant and the co-living individuals must stay home and wait patiently for being transferred to the quarantine site by the designated ambulance.
