As of Thursday (29 December), those arriving in the city – a special administrative region of China – will no longer be required to take a PCR test.
The destination’s vaccine pass system will also be removed, but its compulsory mask mandate in public places will still be enforced.
Hong Kong’s 12-person limit on the number of people allowed to gather outside will also be dropped.
Inbound travellers are now only required to present negative results from PCR tests conducted within 48 hours or rapid antigen tests within 24 hours before departure.
