Hong Kong has further relaxed its covid-19 restrictions on international tourists from visiting bars and restaurants in the first three days, as reported in www.traveldailymedia.com on 22 Dec. 2022.
As part of its gradual shift from its “zero-COVID” policy, the mainland Chinese government said Wednesday that it would shut down its app that tracked domestic travel. Hong Kong health Secretary Lo Chung-mau informed a press conference attended by local journalists that passengers arriving in the city will no longer be granted an “amber code”.
The Amber code was Hong Kong’s most recent COVID-19 restriction programme. It forced arriving visitors to refrain from visiting restaurants and pubs for the first three days they were in the island’s administrative territory.
Hong Kong has followed one of the world’s most restrictive COVID-19 regulations. During the pandemic’s peak, Hong Kong routinely barred aeroplanes from carrying more than five passengers who tested positive for COVID-19.
Visitors to Hong Kong will still be required to present a negative COVID-19 test result upon arrival, notwithstanding the most recent and eased guideline. Entrance into restaurants and bars still requires evidence of three coronavirus vaccination jabs.
