Macao reports one newly imported COVID-19 case

The Novel Coronavirus Response and Coordination Center of China's Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) government on Saturday night reported one newly confirmed imported COVID-19 cases, bringing the number of imported cases to eight in March.

A 50-year-old Macao resident arrived in Hong Kong by air from New York of the United States Saturday morning. She then arrived in Macao through the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Saturday afternoon and was found to have fever by Macao's medical personnel up on entering Macao.

She was tested positive with the COVID-19 after being sent to Macao's hospital of Centro Hospitalar Conde de Sao Januario, and was quarantined and treated in the hospital.

Macao has reported a total of eight COVID-19 cases in seven days, all of which were imported ones. The Macao SAR government has issued a level two travel alert to all overseas countries and regions, and strongly urged its residents to avoid non-essential travel during this period.
