HONG KONG—The city’s government cut the Covid-19 quarantine period for inbound travelers to three days, laying out further measures to streamline stringent border controls but falling short of what businesses say is needed to restore its reputation as Asia’s leading global financial center.
From Friday, travelers arriving in Hong Kong will be allowed to leave their designated quarantine hotels after three days, instead of seven now, officials announced in a briefing Monday morning. During that period they will not be allowed into places that now require a vaccine pass, such as gyms, bars and restaurants, they said.
