According to the Novel Coronavirus Response and Coordination Centre, citizens residing in yellow-coded zones are subject to nucleic acid testing on Days 1, 2, 4 and 7. For the convenience of these citizens, on two consecutive days from 1 to 2 July, two NAT mobile buses will be deployed to provide sampling service at two different locations from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm.
The parking locations of the NAT mobile buses have been revised, and the updated parking locations are: The Affiliated School of the University of Macau (remains unchanged), and The Riviera Macau terminal on Rua do Almirante Sérgio.
To coordinate with the change of location, the bus terminal at The Riviera Macau will be suspended on 1 and 2 July. The terminal of route 6B will be moved to “Barra/Terminal”; affected passengers may get on the bus at the “Almirante Sérgio/Riviera Macau” stop, whereas service of route 71S will be suspended.
Meanwhile, according to the locations and population distributions of yellow-coded zones, and considering the walking accessibility of residents, five NAT stations has been additionally set up at Mong-Ha Sports Centre – 1/F, Seac Pai Van Public School, Macau Workers’ Children School (Kindergarten Section), Patene Activity Centre, and Pui Ching Middle School.
Yellow code holders may book to take nucleic acid testing at the above locations via https://eservice.ssm.gov.mo/allpeoplernatestbook. Alternatively, citizens may book for free nucleic acid test at routine NAT stations via https://app.ssm.gov.mo/mandatoryrnatestbook. Results of such tests will not be displayed on the Macao Health Code, and cannot be used for border crossing purposes.
As typhoon signal No. 1 has been hoisted by the Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau, unsettled weather will be expected in Macao, yellow code holders are reminded to check the weather conditions before setting out. Should the weather conditions deteriorate, it is not advised to go out for sampling in a hurry. People who fail to arrive at the NAT station on time due to the weather conditions may go for sampling directly at the scheduled location at a later time on the same day by holding the original booking proof; a new booking is not required.
Moreover, the public are reminded that, before heading to the NAT station for sampling, they must first perform a rapid antigen test (RAT). Only those who have a negative RAT result can be sampled at the NAT stations. If the RAT result is positive, regardless of whether having fever, respiratory symptoms or other discomfort, an ambulance should be called (Tel: 119, 120 or 2857 2222) in addition to reporting the result through Macao Health Code. The declarant and the housemates must stay home and wait patiently for being transferred to the quarantine site by the designated ambulance.
