Macao: will wear two masks on the boat

There are still many passengers at the terminal's entry and exit lobby. Andy, a Macaoese who came to Hong Kong from Macao to study in Hong Kong, is worried about the epidemic and believes that the population density of Macao is high and it is easy to infect each other. He did not know that a confirmed person took a boat from Hong Kong to Macau, thinking that the other party was not infected on the boat, so he would still choose to go back to Macau by boat, but he would wear two masks on the boat, and immediately wash his clothes to avoid infection. He pointed out that he was not clear about the epidemic prevention work in Hong Kong, but heard that the Hong Kong government has received a lot of criticism in response. Instead, the Chief Executive of Macao stated in the morning that he would direct the epidemic prevention in person. Therefore, he felt that Macao's measures were better.

Mr. Lin, a Hong Kong person who returned to Hong Kong after traveling from Macao, said that the Hong Kong government ’s epidemic prevention work “is done very slowly.” He explained that in addition to measuring body temperature, he also has to fill out health declaration forms when entering Macao, but only for children when entering Hong Kong. Measure body temperature one by one, "the ministry (the body temperature machine) has to know what to do." He believes that in addition to the mandatory fill in the declaration form, the government also needs to close the customs, "at least to the people in the most dangerous places (seal) "He also said that almost every local in Macau wears a mask, and only some mainland and foreign tourists do not.

Mainland visitors are not required to declare health

Mr. Li, a Shanghai traveler who also arrived in Macau from Hong Kong, said that when he entered Hong Kong, he did not fill in any declaration form, but only measured his body temperature; instead, he was required to declare when he entered Macau, "I feel Macau is doing well."

The number of confirmed cases in Macau has risen, and some Hong Kong people are still leaving as planned, including Mr. Lin, who went to Macau to meet friends. He said that he was informed that some patients were taking a boat from Hong Kong to Macau and he was worried about the situation. However, since my friends returned from foreign countries and had little chance to meet, they still chose to go to Macau. He said that he had alcohol-based hand sanitizer and masks, and he would not stay too hard in Macau. "Eat a meal and return." And Ms. Xu, a Hong Kong citizen, would leave on the sixth day of the New Year. She was not worried about the epidemic, saying Wearing a mask yourself "because the streets are very windy," and means that if there is a confirmed patient nearby, even if a mask is of little effect, "(bacteria) will be obsessive."
