Hong Kong’s plan to bar those who have not been vaccinated against Covid-19 from all restaurants, leisure venues and schools will be postponed until February 24, the city’s leader has announced.

The expansion of Hong Kong’s vaccine bubble to require people entering those premises to have received at least one dose of a coronavirus jab was initially expected to launch in late January ahead of Lunar New Year, which starts on February 1.
