ABSTRACT

Macao is a tourist city. When the COVID-19 epidemic occurred, Macao's risks and pressures were enormous. However, the response policies of the Government are timely and effective, making Macao one of the lightest epidemic regions in the world. This article reviewed the SAR government's anti-epidemic policies, and found four most important policies all based on the E-government technology and the implementation of big data: 1. Quickly screen, restrict and isolate tourists from the affected areas; 2. Supply masks; 3. Accurate collection, in-depth analysis and rapid release of information; 4. Electronic consumer card.
