Hong Kong’s authorities stated it might improve 15 nations together with the US, Spain and France to “excessive threat” from “medium threat” by August 20, that means worldwide arrivals from these nations will face lengthened quarantine.
The federal government stated arrivals from Bangladesh, Cambodia, France, Greece, Iran, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Spain, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Tanzania, Thailand, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and the US would all face the brand new restrictions.
Hong Kong has a few of the most stringent coronavirus entry necessities globally, with arrivals from nations thought-about “excessive threat” mandated to endure obligatory quarantine for 21 days in a chosen quarantine lodge, even when they’ve been vaccinated.
Nations together with Brazil, India, and the UK had already been labeled as “excessive threat”, however the authorities had largely relaxed measures for travellers from most different nations, prompting hope of elevated worldwide journey for residents and a higher variety of overseas guests.
