Macau has slightly retreated from its earlier order for all Philippine nationals to undergo daily Covid-19 testing, Macau media reported.
Filipinos, however, would still be required to undergo nucleic acid testing every other day until Friday. However, those working at construction sites, security staff, cleaning staff, restaurant staff, food deliverers, public bus drivers and taxi drivers and live-out domestic helpers have been added to “high-risk groups of people.” Many of these workers are still Filipinos.
The Consulate dismissed such claims, saying the measure is “purely a health issue.” It cited that Macau had earlier imposed a mandatory testing on other nationals like Vietnamese, Nepalese and Myanmarese workers.
