Hong Kong urged to allow elderly travellers to quarantine at home after veteran actor Kenneth Tsang’s death in hotel sparks calls for review

Elderly travellers should be allowed to isolate at home if certain conditions are met, a leading health expert has said, after the death of an 87-year-old veteran Hong Kong actor at a quarantine hotel sparked calls for a policy review.

The family of actor Kenneth Tsang Kong, whose death prompted citywide mourning, declined to comment on Thursday morning on whether he had been given timely medical help in the hotel.
