Health Bureau implements innovative health quarantine model at Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge border crossing

Health Bureau implements innovative health quarantine model at Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge border crossing

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge has commenced operations from 9am today (24 October). Health quarantine facilities are well equipped and prepared for services.

To facilitate the innovative joint inspections for the one-stop border crossing operation model implemented at the bridge's border checkpoint between Zhuhai and Macao, both Zhuhai and Macao authorities conduct the quarantine process for departing travellers, in accordance with a signed memorandum.

According to this new model, the health quarantine department in Zhuhai carries out the quarantine process for travellers as they depart for Macao, as required by the Macao SAR. Any travellers who are suspected to be suffering from an infectious disease or radiation overdose and decide to continue with entering Macao are passed to the Health Bureau of Macao for follow-up action. The same arrangement is applied in the reverse situation as the Health Bureau of Macao carries out the quarantine process for travellers as they depart for Zhuhai.

Outbound travellers suffering from fever or radiation overdose may choose to return to their place of departure, to receive medical treatment at their place of origin. This arrangement does not apply to travellers who have no symptoms of fever or radiation overdose.

The quarantine arrangement for passengers travelling between Macao and Hong Kong remains unchanged, i.e. both parties carry out quarantine processes for travellers upon entry.

The Health Bureau of Macao has deployed health quarantine stations at all border checkpoints in Macao, which provide quarantine services for inbound travellers, to safeguard against imported infectious diseases and potential public health incidents.
