Hong Kong.- Authorities in Hong Kong have announced that\u00a0Macau ID holders and Guangdong residents\u00a0<\/strong>can travel to Hong Kong without compulsory quarantine on arrival from September 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hong Kong will run a campaign dubbed Come2HK<\/strong>. Visitors will need to show a negative Covid-19 test and undergo further testing during their stay in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor<\/strong>, Hong Kong chief executive, said Hong Kong had seen zero local Covid-19 infections for 21 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She said the Come2HK scheme would have a daily quota of 1,000 travellers via Shenzhen Bay Port in Guangdong<\/strong>, and another 1,000 via the Hong Kong border crossing of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In July, the\u00a0travel bubble<\/a>\u00a0between Hong Kong and Macau was delayed due to a new case of Covid-19 detected in Hong Kong.

They will only be required to have a Covid-19 test and will not need to undergo a 14-day quarantine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the case of Hong Kong<\/a>, the measure won\u2019t be the same for visitors from Singapore who want to go there as the country has given up a potential travel bubble with Singapore<\/a> and decided to extend quarantine measures until March 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Category 2 will include visitors from Australia, Canada, Germany and from Jiansu province in China<\/strong>. They will have to undergo a 7-day quarantine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Category 3 is for people coming from Japan and South Korea<\/strong>.
