Hong Kong will reduce the mandatory hotel quarantine for overseas arrivals to three days from a week. The Chinese city remains one of the few places in the world to require a quarantine to guard against travelers spreading COVID-19.
Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee speaks during a news conference in Hong Kong, Monday, Aug. 8, 2022. Lee said Monday that the length of mandatory hotel quarantine for overseas arrivals will be reduced to three days from a week.
The southern Chinese city remains one of the few places in the world, together with mainland China, to require a quarantine to guard against travelers spreading COVID-19 to the local population. The policy taking effect Friday will be Hong Kong’s shortest quarantine for arrivals since the pandemic began.
Lee said that the new policy of just three days in quarantine was made after scientific evidence and data had been analyzed to control the risk factors.
