HONG KONG (Bloomberg): Hong Kong will shorten hotel quarantine to seven days for fully vaccinated residents traveling from most places - including those classified as "high-risk" like Singapore, the US and Britain - as long as they test positive for coronavirus antibodies, the South China Morning Post reported on Monday (June 21).

The move, which the report said would be announced by chief executive Carrie Lam at a Monday afternoon briefing, will mark a significant easing of one of the strictest quarantine regimes in the world that currently imposes mandatory quarantine of up to 21 days for travellers.
