Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Hong Kong scraps some restrictions for travelers, ends contact tracing
After over two and half years of isolation, Hong Kong is now ready to
welcome foreign visitors. The special administrative region of China had been
under very strict Covid restrictions, having required visitors to be self-quarantined
for three days under medical surveillance and take multiple PCR tests for the
first seven days since September 26. But before then, the rules had been much stricter
and the quarantine period was longer than a week, which severely affected
businesses and the tourism industry. Now you can visit the once-popular travel destination
and eat at restaurants without restrictions or a tracking app provided that you
have a vaccine pass and tested negative on a PCR test upon arrival and the
following day. Also, you need to take a quick antigen test yourself for the
next five consecutive days. So, as long as you aren’t tested positive and keep
wearing a mask even outside, you can travel around Hong Kong freely even though
it still is not the same as the days before Covid. Hong Kong was desperate to restrict
incoming travelers but now it is desperate to welcome visitors.
Enjoy reading the article and think about how attracted you are to
visit Hong Kong.
