Ask Hong Kong visitors from abroad for 14-day follow-up March 17, 15:19

The Hong Kong government has announced on Monday that it will begin measures to require anyone entering Hong Kong from abroad, except Macau and Taiwan, to have 14 days of follow-up at home and elsewhere.

The Hong Kong government's top secretary-general, Secretary-General Lin Jung Moon-e, will hold a press conference on the morning of the 17th, and call on all people entering Hong Kong from abroad except Macau and Taiwan for a 14-day follow-up at home or in a hotel from the 19th. It was announced.

If you try to escape the action, you may be charged with criminal liability.

The Hong Kong government has already taken the same measures last month for people entering Hong Kong from mainland China.

We have also extended the warning that Hong Kong citizens travel abroad to refrain from unnecessary and urgent travel in all countries except mainland China, Macau and Taiwan.

Regarding the reasons for this response, Secretary of State Hayashi Chung said that 90% of the cases confirmed in Hong Kong in the past two weeks came from outside Hong Kong. We need to make sure that we don't put any additional burden on the institution. "

The Macau government has also decided to take the same measures as Hong Kong from the 18th.
