| All arrivals from Macau, including HK residents, will now be told to quarantine at home |
Hong Kong will suspend the
quarantine exemption of all arrivals from Macau starting at 10pm tonight, Sept.
25.
This was after two security guards working in a Macau quarantine hotel were confirmed to have the coronavirus, prompting the authorities there to order Covid-19 testing for all its 680,000 residents starting from 3pm today.

Quarantine-free privilege was extended to all travelers coming from Macau under the Come2hk scheme on Sept 15, while residents returning from there under the Return2hk scheme had enjoyed the benefit since Apr 29.
After the deadline, all Macau arrivals will be required to quarantine at home for 14 days if they have not been fully vaccinated; and for 7 days if fully vaccinated. They also need to undergo tests at prescribed times.
