Hong Kong-mainland border reopening hopes grow as Chinese experts review city’s Covid-19 measures

Frequently changing Covid-19 restrictions and quarantine rules at the border between Hong Kong and mainland China could soon be lifted for travellers. Tam Yiu-chung, a member of China's National People’s Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, said he has been told he can attend a meeting in Beijing in December 2021. Only weeks after he had been unexpectedly barred from a similar trip by authorities citing the risk of infection posed by a single, untraceable case in the city. Tam said change signals that border restrictions could be eased soon.
