On August 10, the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council (hereinafter referred to as the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council) announced that centralized isolation medical observation would no longer be applied to persons entering the mainland from Macao. Subsequently, the Macao Information Office also issued specific implementation regulations saying that starting from August 12, Zhuhai residents' travel endorsement to Macao (including individual tours and group tours) would be resumed. Macau gaming stocks rose on the 10th as soon as the news came out.

In terms of Hong Kong stocks, Sands China, MGM China and Galaxy Entertainment are all up more than 3%; for US stocks, MGM is up more than 16%, Wynn Resort is up nearly 9%, Melco Resorts and Entertainment Ltd is up more than 8%, Sands Group is up more than 7%, and Caesar Entertainment is up more than 3%.

Before the Hong Kong stock market opened on the 11th, gambling stocks opened higher.

According to the Macao Daily, with regard to the fact that Zhuhai residents can apply for an individual visit endorsement to Macao from this Wednesday, some Macao bookmakers said that the measure is good news and a first step for Macao to restart its economy. It is expected that gambling revenue will rebound from a low level to more than 2 billion patacas at most, but the epidemic has not abated, and it is estimated that unpaid leave will continue before the vaccine is widely available in June next year.

Affected by the epidemic, Macao earlier announced that gambling revenue recorded 1.344 billion patacas in July this year, a year-on-year decline of 94.5 per cent.

According to the Asdaq financial network, some gambling operators said that the population of Zhuhai is about 2 million. Assuming that 1/4 people apply for individual visit to Macao, that is, about 500000 people visit Macao, which is similar to the current resident population of Macao, under the same gambling spending power, it is expected that Macao's gambling revenue can rebound from the low level to more than 2 billion patacas, but it is only 10% of the more than 20 billion patacas before the epidemic. I hope there will be more good news in the future.

If the whole country can return to Australia for an individual trip before the National Day Golden week, it will certainly be helpful to the gambling revenue. However, it still depends on whether the Board's epidemic prevention policy on casinos has been changed at that time. At present, only 1/3 gambling tables can be opened, which may not be able to meet the demand of the midfield. the epidemic prevention situation of the VIP lounge is easier to control and the performance will be better than that of the midfield.

However, it is worth noting that as long as a local confirmed case is found, Macao will adopt a circuit breaker mechanism and immediately suspend all entry and exit relaxation measures.

The following is attached with the specific entry instructions issued by the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council:

(1) holding a valid entry and exit certificate.

(2) to hold a negative certificate of nucleic acid test within 7 days or a "health code" containing negative information of nucleic acid test within 7 days.

(3) it is necessary to cooperate with the epidemic prevention and control and border inspection of entry and exit by the relevant departments of the mainland ports.

(4) entry personnel who do not hold a negative certificate of nucleic acid test within 7 days or contain a "health code" of negative information of nucleic acid test within 7 days shall still be subject to centralized isolation medical observation for 14 days.

In other words, the two most important conditions for applying for a Macau tourist endorsement and entering the country smoothly are: 1. He is a resident of Zhuhai. Hold the nucleic acid negative test certificate within 7 days (preferably paper).
