HONG KONG — Hong Kong is working to resume quarantine-free travel with mainland China by as early as Jan. 8, Chief Secretary Eric Chan Kwok-ki said in a Facebook post on Sunday. Chan, the city’s No.2 official, said quotas will be set in the first stage of the plan to limit the number of people who can travel between the city and the mainland.“The border will be fully opened eventually, based on the operation of the first-stage scheme, and as the scale being expanded based on conditions,” he said.
The return of mainland visitors would be a major boost to Hong Kong’s battered economy. China had kept its borders all but shut for three years and Hong Kong itself had maintained some of the world’s strictest curbs until the second half of last year.
