For travellers entering Hong Kong, they will have to carry a negative nucleic acid test report and have to undergo a covid test at the airport before they leave for hotel quarantine. According to skift.com, a PCR test would be conducted on day 5, if that tests negative, and all the rapid antigen tests show negative results, then travelers can choose to leave their hotel quarantine after seven days. A mandatory PCR test on day 12 has to be done.

Earlier, Lam’s administration was criticised and attacked for strict zero-covid policy. In a press conference on January 22, Lam said that Hong Kong was not aiming to achieve a absolute zero as a strategy.” The alternative to this type of strategy will be the so-called ‘living with the virus’ — in other words, we open our borders, we have no social distancing measures, we will, like one country, announce that you don’t even have to wear your mask.”
