HK extends quarantine measures until August

The plan for a “travel bubble” between Macau, Hong Kong and Guangdong has been delayed as HK extends quarantine.

Hong Kong.- Travellers arriving in Hong Kong from mainland China, Macau and Taiwan will have to go through 14-day quarantine in isolation at least until August 7.

The plan for a “travel bubble” between Macau, Hong Kong and Guangdong province had already been delayed due to the recent surge in Covid-19 cases in Beijing.

Macau Business reported that the Hong Kong government is maintaining close communication with Guangdong Province and the Macau SAR Government with an eye to develop potential agreement on mutual health testing recognition and quarantine exemption.

Hong Kong, Macau and Guangdong have been working on a health code to try to eliminate the 14-day quarantine for travellers in the region and ease border restrictions, something eagerly hoped for by casinos and resorts that hope for a return of tourism.
