Dear colleagues and students,
The Novel Coronavirus Response and Coordination Centre has decided to require all people in Macao to conduct rapid antigen tests (RATs) for COVID-19 for two consecutive days starting from 1 to 2 July.
RAT test procedures, instructions on result reporting and important notes have been uploaded to the following link: https://www.ssm.gov.mo/apps1/covidagtest/ch.aspx#clg21987.
People should perform the test and interpret the result by themselves according to the user manual of the RAT test kit, and then report the test result to the Rapid Antigen Test Reporting Platform (https://app.ssm.gov.mo/generalrat/).
People who fail to upload the RAT result on 1 July will be assigned a yellow health code at 00:00 am on 2 July. The concerned individuals have to report their RAT result within 2 July in order to convert their health code back to green colour; otherwise, their health code will be locked as yellow at 00:00 am on 3 July, and they must undergo a nucleic acid test at their own expense in order to convert their health code back to green code.
If the rapid antigen test result is positive, in addition to declaring it through Macao Health Code, one should call an ambulance by phone at 119, 120 or 2857 2222 to go to Conde de São Januário Hospital to undergo a nucleic acid test as soon as possible, regardless of whether one has a fever or respiratory symptoms. In addition, if one has a positive rapid antigen test result, he/she as well as the people living with him/ her are not allowed to go out, and a nucleic acid test will be arranged for all of them by the authorities.
