Hong Kong will abolish quarantine requirements for people infected with COVID-19 from the 30th.
"From the 30th, we will cancel the quarantine order for corona19 confirmed cases," Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee appeared before the parliament today (19th) and said, "Most of the infected people have shown mild symptoms and the medical system has improved, and the border with the mainland has been improved." It is time to cancel the quarantine order as the risk of contagion from reopening is not high."
As a result, most quarantine restrictions in Hong Kong, except for the mandatory wearing of masks, are lifted.
Since January 2020, Hong Kong has maintained a strict quarantine policy in line with China's 'zero corona' policy.
However, as the status of the 'international financial hub' fell, hotel quarantine for inbound travelers was abolished on September 26 last year, ahead of China.
Then, as China eased quarantine measures last month, from the 29th of last month, PCR tests for entrants, 'vaccine pass', and quarantine for close contacts were eliminated.
Hong Kong and China resumed quarantine-free travel in three years from the 8th.
