Coronavirus: Hong Kong won’t axe frequent Covid-19 tests for arrivals even if border rules are further eased, insiders reveal

Hong Kong will not give up on frequent Covid-19 tests for arrivals even if the city’s border restrictions are further relaxed, a move insiders do not expect to happen soon, the Post has learned.

Sources revealed that Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu had asked all bureaus during a recent internal meeting to promote the current “0+3” arrangement, under which inbound travellers must undergo a three-day medical surveillance period.
