Local leaders say their focus is removing restrictions on travel from Hong Kong to mainland China, which also has strict entry restrictions. At present travellers from Hong Kong to the mainland must still undergo quarantine. "Hong Kong¡¯s status as an (international financial centre) is increasingly at risk along with its long-term economic recovery and competitiveness as a premier place to do business," Mark Austen, chief executive of ASIFMA, wrote in open letter to Hong Kong financial secretary Paul Chan.
The letter made a series of recommendations including publishing "a roadmap for exiting Hong Kong¡¯s ¡®zero-case¡¯ based COVID-19 strategy beyond solely the immediate goal of opening borders with China", as well as prioritising vaccinations. Hong Kong has reported just over 12,300 cases since the start of the pandemic, mostly imported, and 213 deaths. Regional rival Singapore is expanding quarantine-free travel to nearly a dozen countries, but authorities are grappling with how to do so while averting a surge of COVID-19 cases among older people and those with weak immune systems.
