Good morning. Macau is attempting to return to normal, with a push to open up as much as possible ahead of the Chinese New Year holidays. New ferry routes to Hong Kong and mainland China are opening, as the first day of new measures – not requiring entrants from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan to be submitted to testing – drew nearly 40k visitors. Also in Macau, the gaming watchdog has extended its transition period for electronic gaming machine standards.
