Macau has ordered any resident who holds a Philippine passport to take a daily nucleic acid test, with officials singling them out as more at risk for infection even though they account for a small number of cases in a Covid-19 wave that is abating.

The testing regimen was scheduled to start yesterday, health official Leong Iek Hou said on Thursday.
