HONG KONG/SINGAPORE, Nov 21 (Bloomberg): Hong Kong and Singapore postponed the world’s first quarantine-free travel bubble for two weeks after a surge of new coronavirus infections in Hong Kong, a setback for their flagship airlines and tourism businesses looking to kickstart a recovery.
The inaugural flights, scheduled to depart Sunday (Nov 22), were delayed by the governments because of the spike of local infections in Hong Kong, Edward Yau, the city’s secretary for commerce and economic development, said Saturday.
