HONG KONG: Hong Kong will end quarantine exemptions for senior executives, bankers and most other groups starting Nov 12, tightening what is already one of the world’s strictest Covid-19 policies as it works to open the border with mainland China.
Exemptions for directors of listed companies and senior executives from the banking, insurance, securities and futures sectors will be cancelled, Hong Kong’s government said yesterday. Consular and diplomatic officers will need to self-isolate at designated quarantine hotels, it said, with home quarantine not allowed except for consuls general or representatives at an equivalent or higher level.
