Hong Kong will allow incoming travelers who test positive for Covid-19 to remain in their designated quarantine hotels instead of being transferred to isolation hotels or community facilities like the infamous Penny’s Bay.
The move, which will begin Nov. 1, comes as Hong Kong prepares for a series of high-profile events including a summit for global bankers and an international rugby tournament aimed at reviving its business-friendly reputation after more than two years of isolation. Some potential visitors have said they won’t attend if there is a chance they could get sent to quarantine facilities.
