Hong Kong to cut quarantine for arrivals to 14 days from next month – The Peninsula Qatar

Hong Kong: Hong Kong will cut quarantine for arriving travellers to 14 days from 21, starting from Feb. 5, leader Carrie Lam said on Thursday, after pressure from finance executives and foreign diplomats, who said the measure was hurting competitiveness.

Tough coronavirus rules have made Hong Kong one of the world's most isolated cities, with flights down as much as 90%. Residents returning from more than 160 countries are required to quarantine for 21 days in designated hotels at their own cost.
