Location: Macau
Event: COVID-19 Prevention and Control Measures in the Macau Special Administrative Region
The U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong and Macau is closely following the ongoing COVID-19 situation in Macau with great concern. Macau authorities continue to expand COVID-19 prevention and control measures as detected cases of COVID-19 increase. These measures may include involuntary quarantines in your residence or a government-managed facility, mass testing, widespread closures of public facilities, transportation disruptions, lockdowns, and possible family separation. These measures are dynamic, implemented with little warning, and can change very quickly.
U.S. citizens who are sent to a government-managed facility or who are having difficulty departing Macau are encouraged to contact the U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong and Macau via email at ACSHK@state.gov, or via phone at +852 2841 2211 or +852 2523 9011 (after hours).
