Macao health authorities would continue to monitor the spread of Influenza A (H1N1) in Asia, Chief Executive Mr Edmund Ho Hau Wah said today. Speaking to the press in Liaoning Province, a day after the Government raised the pandemic alert from level IV to level V, Mr Ho said the Government had announced a string of measures at schools, hospitals and terminals to try to prevent the virus from entering Macao. At the conclusion of his five-day visit to three northeast provinces, Mr Ho said the meetings with the leading officials of the three provinces had enhanced bilateral relationship and encouraged business co-operation between their enterprises. The three provinces had all along been the nation’s heavy industry bases and the development of the tertiary industry had accelerated in the past decade, which created enormous investment opportunities to Macao businesspeople, he said. The Government would introduce more policies and measures to encourage Macao business people to invest in Mainland, and would consider setting up a trade promotion office in one of the provinces, he said. Mr Ho met the Governor of Liaoning Province, Mr Chen Zhenggao, who said at their meeting today that the province looked forward to more co-operation with Macao. Mr Ho and his delegation, comprising more than 100 businesspeople and officials, also attended a trade seminar and visited some attractions and enterprises in the province. They are scheduled to return to Macao in the evening.
