Macau has recorded revenue figures of MOP4.4bn (402.1m\/467.9m) for August 2021, representing an increase of 234.0% from the same period last year. <\/p>\n
When compared to pre-pandemic 2019 however, revenue figures are down significantly from MOP24.26bn. August 2021s revenue figure is also down by almost half from the previous month, when the total was MOP8.44bn. <\/p>\n
Revenue for the year to date currently stands at MOP61.91bn for 2021, compared to MOP198.22bn in 2019. <\/p>\n
This news comes as Macau has made changes to its Covid-19 guidelines for people entering the country, relaxing its testing rules. <\/p>\n
If a person enters Macau from Mainland China without having been abroad in the previous 14 days, they must produce a negative result from a Covid test issued within the previous seven days. The time frame for a negative test had previously been 48 hours rather than seven days. <\/p>\n
Rules for Hong Kong and Taiwan remain the same, while visitors from anywhere else remain prohibited.<\/p>\n
Previous Covid-induced travel restrictions imposed on those entering Macau from Mainland China were lifted back in February. <\/p>\n
