Macau has launched “relatively stationary management” for 7 consecutive days since yesterday. It is forbidden to go out unless it is urgent or necessary, and masks of KN95 or above standard must be worn when going out. The Macau Police joined a number of government departments to inspect various districts in Macau yesterday morning, and advised at least 905 people, including those who ran, sat in parks, went out with pets, and did not wear masks. Direct prosecution began in the evening. At least Two people were charged for running and sitting outside while talking on the phone without wearing a mask. The maximum penalty was two years in prison or a fine of 240 patacas per day.
Macau reported 59 new local infections the day before, bringing the total to 1,526. From yesterday, only people who are engaged in industries necessary to maintain social operations, including medical care, material transportation, supermarkets, restaurants, etc., can take the bus with the “authorized work permit” issued by the government. . However, some elderly people wanted to take a bus to the Peak Hospital for follow-up consultation yesterday, but they were refused to board the bus even if they presented relevant certificates. The Traffic Management Department of the Macau Transport Bureau responded that passengers only need to show paper or electronic information to get on the bus. “You can communicate with the bus staff. I believe it is not a big problem.”
The Peak Hospital appealed to the public not to worry regarding being unable to take the bus to the hospital for medical treatment, as delaying treatment would cause secondary harm to the patient, and reminded the public that it is best to obtain an appointment certificate or a medical certificate before taking the bus. In addition, it is reported that some people speculate on the Internet or beg for the purchase of licensed work permits. The Macau police stated that they have issued regarding 63,000 licensed work permits, and reminded that buying, selling, forging or using others’ work permits may be criminally responsible, and do not try the law.
