Hong Kong will create a health code system to ease border restrictions with Guandong and Macau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Hong Kong.- Authorities announced the launching of a health code system created to certify residents when they visit Macau and Guangdong and vice-versa, in order to ease border restrictions and boost economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The detailed plan will be announced early June, newspaper South China Morning Post <\/strong><\/em>reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before applying for a QR health code, a person would have to undergo a Covid-19 test, the report states, valid for around seven days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decision comes after strong negotiations among authorities from Macau, Hong Kong and Guangdong<\/strong><\/em><\/a> intended to create a \u201ctravel bubble\u201d enabling easier movement of people in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the tourism halted, and the lack of visitors from neighbouring areas, the gaming industry and the economy of Macau, Hong Kong and Guandong province are being severily hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the beginning of this month, Macau health authorities launched a new tri-colour health code<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and upgraded version of its health declaration system, required o entry in the city or in venues inside the city, with the system recognised by Guangdong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users are required to answer three questions regarding their current health, travel history and history of close contact with a health code generated in green, yellow or red according to their status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A green code indicates the individual has no link to any Covid-19 cases and is free to enter any venues. A yellow code means the individual is showing relevant symptoms or is listed as a regular contact, and the advice is to take active management of their own health. A a red code is issued for individuals listed as confirmed patients, suspected cases or close contacts, and are barred from entering the specific venue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
