People who test positive for coronavirus will no longer have to quarantine in Hong Kong as part of a lifting of restrictions, the Chinese territory’s leader has said.
All social distancing measures will also be scrapped except the mandatory mask rule, and group gatherings will be allowed in public places, chief executive John Lee has said.
He added that international travellers to Hong Kong will no longer need to do a mandatory PCR COVID-19 test and the city’s vaccine pass required to enter most venues will also be scrapped.
The lifting of measures will be effective from 29 December.
