After more than two years of strict pandemic rules, the Hong Kong government announced that all of its mandatory control measures for inbound travelers are lifted starting Thursday, Dec. 29.
“The new measures mark a key milestone for tourism revival and the full reopening of the tourism doors of Hong Kong. Visitors can now fully enjoy Hong Kong’s diverse offerings once they arrive in town,” Dr. Pang Yiu-kai, chairman of the Hong Kong Tourism Board , said.However, visitors will have to present negative results of their PCR tests that should be taken not more than 48 hours, while rapid antigen tests must be within 24 hours before their flights to Hong Kong.
Close contacts or co-living members of confirmed COVID cases would no longer be isolated in residence or government-run healthcare facilities. Meanwhile, the government reminded the public that they should still wear facemasks as the mandatory mask-wearing remains in effect.
