Then, hirer is required to show the “Obtain Facilities” code and valid ID for registration 15 minutes prior to the appointment. After successful registration, hirers and companions can enter the venue by scanning the “Entry and Exit of Facilities” code one more time.

 Precautionary measures will be continuously and strictly implemented to prevent the risk of epidemic infection. Users are required to wear masks properly inside the venue, check body temperature and present "Macao Health Code" at the entrance. Number of participants at sports facilities will be limited to avoid gathering of crowds. Stepped-up cleansing and disinfection will also be enforced. The Sports Bureau calls on the public to jointly fight against the disease by maintaining good personal and environmental hygiene and keeping indoor social distance when using sports facilities.
