Around 6,000 customer-facing staff working for four of Macau’s gaming concessionaires have received Covid-19 vaccinations as part of the government’s latest push to boost vaccination rates.
The government recently met with all six concessionaires to devise a strategy moving forward after expressing concerns over Macau’s low vaccination rate, which had seen only 13.7 per cent of the population receive their first dose of vaccine as of late May.
The result was a series of educational seminars and the establishment of temporary vaccination hubs within Macau’s IRs for the benefit of staff and their families.
The Health Bureau said it has now completed its mass vaccination drives for Galaxy Entertainment Group, MGM China, Melco Resorts and Sands China with around 6,000 employees receiving their vaccines.
