In order to take appropriate anti-epidemic measures for candidates applying for the Cambridge English examinations during the period of the novel coronavirus, the Centre hereby makes the following statement:

 

The Macau Special Administrative Region has entered into the state of immediate prevention, with effect from 23:59 pm on 24 September 2021, in relation to the risk of a local COVID-19 outbreak.

 

From 0:00 am on 6 October 2021, individuals intending to cross the border from Macao to Guangdong Province must present a proof of negative nucleic acid test issued within 7 days. This takes into account the latest arrangements of the Zhuhai Government for 14 days’ medical observation of people returning to Zhuhai via the Macau border, except specific persons. From 0:00 am on 9 October 2021, Individuals arriving from Macao to Beijing will be required to undergo a 14-day period of centralized medical observation.

 

In order to protect candidates, parents, staff and the community, the center has decided to postpone all Cambridge English exams which are scheduled on 23-24 October 2021. Our primary concern is health and safety since the increase in the number of COVID-19 cases is unforeseeable and unavoidable.

 

The latest examination time will be notified separately depending on the situation. However, depending on the epidemic situation in Macau and the Guangdong Province, if the epidemic situation is not stabilized, the center has the right to change the examination date and time and will notify candidates accordingly.

 

Following the government’s epidemic prevention requirements, CICE Macau will gradually conduct the postponed examinations in batches on different days, each group will be limited to a small number of people. Please wait patiently for further notice.

 

For the latest situation of the epidemic, please refer to the news released by the Health Bureau of the Macau Special Administrative Region Government. For more updates, please visit:
