Resumo: Objective: to analyse how the Macao Special Administrative Region deals with the pandemic caused by the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. Methodology: analysis of the laws in force in the territory, the decisions made, and the practices adopted. Results: Macao, unlike several other countries, had already specific legislation to combat health crises – Law n. 2/2004 – which facilitated the immediate adoption of restrictive of rights and freedom measures, without inquiries as to their legality and/or constitutionality. The population’ social behaviour and the adoption of voluntary measures - masks wearing and voluntary quarantine - were also identified as important factors to face the disease. The principles of precaution and necessity can be clearly observed in the adoption of health measures by the Macao government. Conclusion: the control of the pandemic was achieved by using several measures – some legally based, others purely social – fully supported by the population. Macao is an authentic case study of how to control a pandemic.

Metodologia: análise das leis vigentes no território, das decisões tomadas e das práticas adoptadas. Resultados: Macau, diferentemente de vários outros países, já possuía legislação específica de combate a crises sanitárias – Lei nº 2/2004 – o que facilitou a adopção de medidas restritivas de direitos e liberdades de forma imediata, e sem indagações quanto à sua legalidade e/ou constitucionalidade. O comportamento social da população e a adopção de medidas voluntárias – uso de máscaras e quarentena voluntária – também foram identificados como factores importantes para enfrentar a doença. Os princípios da precaução e da necessidade podem ser claramente observados na adopção das medidas de saúde pelo governo de Macau. Conclusão: o controlo da pandemia foi conseguido por via de várias medidas – umas de base legal, outras puramente sociais –, que contaram com o apoio da população.
