Hong Kong extends mandatory quarantine order
Hong Kong again extended mandatory quarantine measures for inbound travellers at it battles to quell the spread of Covid-19.
The 14-day isolation period will be effective for all inbound travellers from the Chinese mainland, Macao, and Taiwan until July 7.
Mandatory quarantine for all other international visitors will remain effective until September 18, said Hong Kong health secretary Sophia Chan.

Hong Kong continues to see small clusters of cases but wants all economic activity to continue.
