Hong Kong reduces Covid quarantine for arrivals

Passengers arriving in Hong Kong now have to spend three days in a quarantine hotel, cut from seven as the city eases some Covid restrictions

Hong Kong will cut its hotel quarantine for international arrivals from one week to three days from Friday, leader John Lee announced, in an easing of Covid restrictions that have severely curbed travel.

Lee, Hong Kong's ex-security chief turned city leader, announced Monday that the quarantine period for arrivals would be shortened to three days in a hotel plus four days of health monitoring at home or in a hotel of their choice.
