Hong Kong, July 31, 2022 (AFP): Macau beachgoers were left high and dry as the Chinese gambling hub reopened two beaches at the weekend but banned swimming and water sports, citing coronavirus concerns.

The city is gradually recovering from its most serious outbreak to date, which earlier this month led officials to shutter casinos and most businesses for nearly two weeks.
