Coronavirus: quarantined Hong Kong residents question why vaccination made no difference

Some fully vaccinated Hong Kong residents now in mandatory quarantine for three weeks after a mutated coronavirus variant was discovered in their housing block are questioning why they have not been exempted from the measure after testing negative.

Residents of Caribbean Coast in Tung Chung who spoke to the Post also suggested that home quarantine would have been preferable, while others expressed dismay over the arrangements at the government’s facility in Penny’s Bay.
