Some of Hong Kong's last remaining Covid-19 limitations, which have harmed the city's economy and damaged its reputation as a financial center, will be removed.
Beginning tomorrow, visitors won't be prohibited from going to restaurants and bars for the first three days after their arrival, and locals won't need to scan a tracing app to go into restaurants, bars, and other establishments.
The actions follow Beijing's reversal of its zero-Covid policy this month, when the nation abandoned a number of regulations meant to eradicate instances and instead saw an increase in infections.
Hong Kong maintained its own elimination program and weeks-long government quarantines up until a disastrous epidemic made the measures unnecessary at the beginning of this year, despite the fact that it was never subject to the same level of restrictions as the rest of China.
The mandatory inbound passenger quarantine was abolished in September as part of the city's ongoing effort to loosen its limitations.
The pandemic rules will nevertheless be more obvious in Hong Kong than in many other major cities across the world. The city's "vaccine pass" system, which requires citizens to demonstrate their vaccination status through a government app, will continue to exist, according to Lee.
