Public Advisory: On Strengthened Measures Against Ebola by Macau Authorities
MACAU 09 August 2019 — The Philippine Consulate General in Macau informs Filipinos living and working in Macau, as well as those who wish to visit the region, that Macau Health Services will be implementing strengthened response measures at its borders and ports for the early patient detection and prevention of cross-border spread of the Ebola virus.
The announcement of the measures was issued in response to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) announcement of the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo as a “public health emergency of international interest.”
The strengthened response measures at Macau’s borders will include questioning and inspection by border crossing health workers of all passport holders in the affected regions.
- If people from countries and regions affected by the outbreaks show or appear to manifest suspicious symptoms of Ebola, the Health Services will immediately refer them to the Conde de São Januário Hospital Center where they will be evaluated and tested; or,
- If people do not show symptoms, Health Services agents will follow the medical condition daily by telephone.
