Hong Kong Cuts Hotel Quarantine in Latest Measure to Improve Travel

(Bloomberg) — Hong Kong will reduce the period of time arrivals must spend in hotel quarantine to three days, plus four days of health monitoring, the latest move to ease travel restrictions that have largely isolated the Asian financial hub throughout the pandemic.

People arriving in Hong Kong will need to spend three days in hotel quarantine and can then serve their four days of health monitoring, which will coincide with movement restrictions, at home or in a hotel, Chief Executive John Lee said Monday. The new rules come into effect Friday.
