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.

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.
