HONG KONG (China Daily/ANN): Inbound arrivals from Taiwan will have to quarantine at designated hotels for two weeks as Covid-19 flare-ups are reported on the island, Hong Kong’s health secretary said on Friday (May 14) even as a planned travel bubble with Singapore increasingly came under doubt.

Currently, travellers from Taiwan are required to undergo a 14-day quarantine at home and get tested before coming out of it.
