Hong Kong reduces quarantine for vaccinees

The pandemic is unfortunately not over yet and some countries maintain strict restrictions to prevent the spread of the virus. Many borders are still closed, while others are gradually opening Or at least loosening the limitations.

The bubble between Singapore and Hong Kong bursts (again) before it even leaves

It is the case of Hong Kong who, after months of lockdowns and restrictions, is planning to shorten the mandatory quarantine period for anyone entering the Chinese region.

The requirement? Having completed the Covid-19 vaccination course.

The proposal

Currently, those arriving in Hong Kong must observe a period of quarantine equal to 14 days, regardless of swabs made before the trip.

But a committee of government officials proposed to halve the quarantine period, thus changing it from 14 days to one week. In this way, all people who have completed the vaccination cycle and who come from "low-risk" countries can benefit from a shorter period.

In addition to proving that you have had the vaccine, you will also need to make a test upon arrival. But beware, this is not the classic tampon, but rather the quantitative serological test, that is, the one that measures the level of antibodies developed against Covid: if it is positive and we have enough then Hong Kong is happy, otherwise they are 14 days Of mandatory hotel for all.

Traveling to Hong Kong from Italy

Honk Kong, like most of the stat.i, manages income and expenditure according to the risk bands For each country.

Italy is considered "medium-low risk" so you can travel to Hong Kong, but you must submit to the mandatory quarantine of 14 days, except then when it will be decreased to 7 days once the new regulations come into effect (presumably between the end of June and early July).

Returning from Honk Kong requires undergoing a swab once you arrive at the airport in Italy, where you will have to wait for the outcome, with the understanding that airlines also ask for a negative swab within the 48/72 hours From the international flight.

Hong Kong belongs to the states with band E, for which there is a 'insulation trustee of 10 days upon return to Italy and a test at the end of this period.

Tourist bubble between Hong Kong and Singapore: will it happen?

Twice the bubble that was supposed to unite Hong Kong and Singapore, the attempts failed after the pandemic numbers were not favorable for the two countries.

"Our countries kept in close contact and agreed that both sides would review the situation in early July before making a decision on the target launch dates of the air travel bubble flights.

One of the key measures is to increase our vaccination rate, once it is satisfactory, then many more possibilities will open up and we can offer more flexibility, including in international travel."

S. Iswaran, Singapore's Minister of Transport

Now that the Green Pass is a reality and the vaccination campaign is proceeding as it should, we could probably travel more peacefully and with fewer restrictions this summer.
