Hong Kong’s health minister has said new border control measures designed to contain the spread of the coronavirus’ Omicron variant are stringent enough, brushing aside the idea the city’s border should be closed even to returning residents.
Spain, the Netherlands and Portugal are among the countries that have detected Omicron cases within the 24 hours since the Hong Kong government last updated its list of high-risk countries, from which non-residents are barred and returning city dwellers face a mandatory 21-day quarantine.
Those coming back from destinations where local transmission of the Omicron variant has been identified or from which cases have been exported to Hong Kong, must serve their first seven days of quarantine at the government’s Penny’s Bay isolation facility.
Secretary for Food and Health Sophia Chan Siu-chee on Tuesday said authorities would continue to monitor the global situation and make adjustments accordingly.
