Macau kicked off a new round of city-wide COVID-19 testing on Monday for its more than 600,000 residents, as officials raced to contain a spiralling number of cases in the worst outbreak to hit the world's biggest gambling hub since the pandemic began.
Coronavirus testing for all residents will take place three times this week across the city, with people also required to take rapid antigen tests in-between.
All non-essential government services are shut, schools, parks, sports and entertainment facilities are closed and restaurants can only provide takeaway. The stringent measures come after Macau has been largely COVID-free since an outbreak in October 2021.
