Incoming travellers who test positive for Covid-19 in Hong Kong will remain in their designated quarantine hotels instead of being transferred to isolation hotels or community facilities like the infamous Penny’s Bay.

test positive for Covid every day, despite a policy that requires them to have a negative result before coming. While many are transferred to a basic quarantine hotel for another week, others are sent to the makeshift government-run camp known as Penny’s Bay to isolate. The risk has made people dread arriving in one of the world’s richest cities, even after it cut hotel quarantine times from seven days to three.

The city hasn’t decided whether to further cut quarantine times for new arrivals, and will make the call based on the Covid situation closer to the high-stake summits, Lee said this week. Residents who become infected have been allowed to remain at home since an outbreak slammed the city this spring, provided they had room to isolate.

While 62 hotels currently offer quarantine services, it’s unclear how they will respond to the new plan. It requires them to adjust to having infected guests remain at their facilities for extended periods. They must arrange specific floors for isolation purposes and ensure their workers are properly garbed, the government said in a statement.
