Macau will close some entertainment and leisure venues like gyms, cinemas and bars in a bid to stamp out Covid-19 after the city reported its first cluster of local cases in more than a year, but casinos will stay open for now.
While only four infections have been detected so far, they are of the more transmissible delta strain that’s driving resurgent outbreaks around the world, prompting the government to escalate measures, test all residents and require people to have a negative result to leave the city.
