If all tests in the 14-day period are confirmed as negative, relevant zones can be unblocked, and the health code of people in such zones will become green.

It is emphasized that, should a person in a yellow-coded zone fail to submit to the testing within the specified period for two consecutive times, his/her health code will become red, and such person will be subject to mandatory isolation.
Apart from the above, anyone who believes they are at risk of COVID-19 infection may book a free nucleic acid test via this link (https://app.ssm.gov.mo/mandatoryrnatestbook). Sampling locations are at the Macao Forum and Pac On Ferry Terminal. Results of such tests are for screening purpose only, and will not be displayed on the Macao Health Code for border crossing purpose.
