Hong Kong will push ahead with a proposal that will allow more residents to travel to mainland China after completing a quarantine period locally, after the city’s leader secured a preliminary green light from counterparts across the border, the Post has learned.

A source confirmed that Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu held talks remotely with officials from Guangdong province and Shenzhen on Thursday morning, with Hong Kong’s leader briefing them on plans for “reverse quarantine”, under which local makeshift Covid-19 treatment facilities would be used to isolate travellers heading over the border.
