A multi-department task force organises a COVID-19 prevention and control drill at the New Wholesale Market. Officers from the Public Security Police seal off all entrances and exits at the Market and set up a control zone.

Epidemic control officers conduct tracing of close contacts of a confirmed case at the workplace of the patient and escort the close contacts to designated places for medical observation.

After the New Wholesale Market is sealed off, cross-border trucks carrying live foods are diverted to a provisional unloading station at the Slaughterhouse to ensure the stable supply of live foods to Macao.

Officers tally up and register all people inside the control zone, and hand out guidelines on disease prevention and control.

Officers from the Health Bureau and Municipal Affairs Bureau collect on-site environmental samples.

Officers from the Municipal Affairs Bureau and Social Welfare Bureau form a support team to distribute food and daily necessities to the people inside the control zone.

Officers from the Municipal Affairs Bureau disinfect and clean all public surfaces at the New Wholesale Market.

Nine departments take part in this joint exercise to enhance collaboration capability and optimise emergency responses to COVID-19 prevention in the supply chain of live foods.

The multi-department task force reviews the results of the COVID-19 prevention drill.
