AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoMosquito control ramps up: Macau’s Health Bureau is trialing 30 smart mosquito traps after two months of yellow-alert Aedes albopictus breeding indices (57.3% and 58.4%), with the highest activity near Seac Pai Van and parts of Taipa and the peninsula; officials say imported dengue and chikungunya cases raise the risk of local spread, and the program could expand if results hold.

Infectious disease snapshot: June notifiable cases rose to 2,755, led by influenza (2,154), while enterovirus (454) jumped sharply month-on-month; norovirus and scarlet fever also increased. Community care for aging: SSM and IAS say more than 1,500 seniors showed unusual emotional symptoms (270 high-risk), and they’re expanding day care, respite, caregiver training and counseling, with self-check support via the Macao One Account platform. Anti-smoking push: Macau approved new amendments to expand outdoor no-smoking zones, ban e-cigarettes in public spaces, and add body-worn video for inspectors, with rules taking effect from 1 Jan. On-the-ground prevention: IAM and Health Bureau held mosquito-and-rodent prevention talks for Vietnamese residents, focusing on “three no’s” for safer home environments.
