In order to align with the mainland, Hong Kong plans to tighten coronavirus protocols.
Hong Kong has not had any major COVID-19 outbreaks in recent months, but plans to consolidate restrictions to better comply with China’s policies. Since the beginning of the year, Hong Kong has not had a large outbreak and virtually no local infections due to their closed international travel. Stricter restrictions include the introduction of contact tracing. The government will require the use of the LeaveHomesafe app on government property to record the influx of visitors. Quarantine rules will exempt only emergency workers or people in essential industries. Those exempt from quarantine as of now are the airline crews, banking and insurance executives, public company directors, cargo or passenger ship crews.
