HONG KONG (Bloomberg): Hong Kong will assess Singapore’s new Covid-19 strategy as the two sides try to revive a quarantine-free travel corridor that was initially planned to open last November but has never got off the ground.

"We need to understand more about that new strategy and whether it will have any impact on the arrangements that we have devised, ” Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam said at a briefing when asked about the so-called travel bubble.

"The situation is very stable on both sides, so this is something that we will be working very closely on.”
