COVID-19 UPDATE - ENTRY RESTRICTION ON NON-HONG KONG RESIDENTS COMING FROM OVERSEAS EXTENDED

Further to our email to you on March 24, the HKSAR Government has decided to extend, until further notice, the entry restriction on non-Hong Kong residents coming from overseas countries or regions by plane and those having been to overseas countries or regions in the past 14 days preceding arrival at Hong Kong. All transit services at the Hong Kong International Airport will also continue to be suspended until further notice.

Just to recap:

• All non-Hong Kong residents coming from overseas countries and regions by plane will be denied entry to Hong Kong;
• Non-Hong Kong residents coming from the Mainland, Macao and Taiwan will be denied entry to Hong Kong if they have been to any overseas countries and regions in the past 14 days;
• All transit services at Hong Kong International Airport will be suspended; and
• All travellers coming from Macao and Taiwan, including Hong Kong and non-Hong Kong residents, will be subject to a 14-day compulsory quarantine, which is the same as the arrangements for people entering Hong Kong from the Mainland.

At present, the COVID-19 pandemic remains severe around the globe. In view of the latest situation, the HKSAR Government has decided to extend the aforementioned entry restriction and suspension of airport transit services, which were implemented since March 25, until further notice.
