Macau chief executive Ho Iat Seng has told lawmakers that there are currently no plans to relax restrictions on non-resident foreigners from entering Macau.

He also noted that no new exceptions would be given to foreign spouses or family members of residents. 

“Regarding the foreign spouses, for humane reasons, we can assist, but if we open the door to all foreigners, I apologize that at this time we don’t have the conditions, namely medical capacity, to do so. We can’t support it.”
