The new Tourism Law prohibits smoking inside all hotels in Macao. All guests in all hotels and commercialised resorts will need to wear nicotine-dispensing masks, undergo heat checks and give a special Macao Health Code upon request. All resorts and hotels have strict prohibitions against smoking, as it is considered a dangerous "recreational addiction". The move, aimed at curbing the island's increasing rate of smoking, has caused several airlines to stop air travel to Macau. Other international carriers, however, have not given up on their flights to the small region.

​

The new law on smoking in Macao was released on Hong Kong day as the region is due to host the world's annual World AIDS conference from Hong Kong this month. The new Macao tobacco control policy is expected to affect many delegates. The Ministry of Health of Macao states that nearly 30% of Hong Kong residents are ex-smokers. The new Macao health code is expected to reduce the spread of the deadly Hong Kong pandemic among Macauans.

​

The International Federation of Associations of Hospitals and Environmental Health Experts, (IFAE), and the Ministry of Health in Macao held a meeting to discuss the issue of smoking in Macao in order to discuss ways to stop the spread of the deadly virus. During the meeting, the Ministry of Health presented the new MACao health code which states that smoking is strictly prohibited inside all commercial establishments. Smoking is also strictly prohibited at beaches and any other place with beach access. All forms of advertising and sales, including smoking, are strictly prohibited. The new policy also stipulates that all resorts, hotels and clubs that are located close to the sea must adhere to it.

​

On July 14th, the government departments met again to discuss and further develop the macao health code system. During this meeting, the leaders of government departments expressed their intent to strengthen the implementation of the new Macao health code system. The delegates from the different departments also reviewed and discussed the details of the new MACao health code system and discussed the possibility of how the government departments and the MACao Mission could work together in order to strengthen the entire system. The mission stated that they had been working closely with government departments to implement this system and hoped that the governments would continue to work with them.

 

It is important to note that all commercial establishments in Macao are required to observe the new macao health code. These establishments are required to inform the Department of Health immediately if they fail to comply with the new measures. The establishments that fail the new coronavirus surveillance requirements, including quilting machines, will be required to upgrade their equipment. These upgrades will ensure all establishments adhere to the Macao Ministry of Health’s new pandemic prevention measures.

​

There are a number of hotels, guest houses, and other such establishments that were refused admission to the Macao Health code. The reasons for these refusal hearings included things like having unlicensed businessmen on board, having unlicensed medical staff on board, and failure to submit records that support the claim of having unlicensed medical staff on board. The Ministry of Health has now revised the Macao Health Code in line with this revised version of the Macao Laws. As a result, all establishments that were previously refused admission are now allowed to apply once again, as long as the conditions and procedures are strictly followed.
