To reduce the transmission risk of COVID-19 within the territory, yellow health code holders should not take public transport for collective use, such as buses and light rail. Should the concerned individuals need to travel by taxi, they must comply with the following guidelines:

1. Yellow code holders who develop fever, dry cough, fatigue, sore throat, decreased sense of smell (taste), diarrhoea or other respiratory symptoms should avoid taking any public transport, including taxi;
2. Take the initiative to notify the taxi driver that they carry a yellow health code;
3. If a “venue code” for recording Macao Health Code itineraries is displayed in the passenger compartment, scan the QR code and record the itinerary.
