Hong Kong mask mandate scrapped
Hong Kong finally lifted its mask mandate after 945 days.
Compulsory mask wearing began in 2020 with hefty HK$5,000 fines dished out for non-compliance.
“With the removal of the mandate, Hong Kong will return to normalcy,” HK leader John Lee said last week.
Up until last week everyone was required to wear masks in public areas.
Following mainland China protocols, the Hong Kong mask mandate and other Covid rules were among the most stringent in the world.
It had undoubtedly damaged the tourism industry.
Tourism is now slowly getting back on its feet, fueled by a free giveaway of 500,000 flight tickets to foreign travellers.
