HONG KONG, Oct 27 (China Daily/ANN): Starting next month, Hong Kong residents on the mainland will be allowed to return home without the need to undergo a mandated 14-day quarantine, Chief Executive (CE) Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor announced on Tuesday, the same day the city further relaxed social-distancing curbs.
Limited returnee quotas will be offered at the beginning of the scheme’s launch as currently only two land checkpoints at Shenzhen Bay and Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge are in operation, she told reporters before an Executive Council meeting.
