Hong Kong extends travel restrictions
Hong Kong has extended its travel ban indefinitely for non-Hong Kong residents and transit passengers.
It is continuing the suspension of all transit flights ‘until further notice’ after a surge in coronavirus cases in recent days.
Hong Kong now has 915 cases of Covid-19, which has doubled in just over a week.
All non-residents from overseas countries are banned from entering Hong Kong, while non-Hong Kong residents arriving from mainland China, Macau or Taiwan may not enter if they have visited any overseas countries within the past two weeks.
All travellers entering from mainland China, Macau and Taiwan, even if they have not travelled abroad, must undergo a 14-day quarantine.
The rule does exempt some travellers.
This includes airline cabin crew, government officials, approved frontline medical workers, and close family members of Hong Kong residents.
