(Reuters photo)HONG KONG: Hong Kong health authorities have stepped up measures to curb the transmission of Covid-19 in designated quarantine hotels, where hundreds of guests have been found breaching infection-control rules. Hotels must keep arriving and departing quarantine guests separated by designing a "dirty route" for those checking in and a "clean route" for those who leave. The designated quarantine hotels scheme began last December for people arriving in Hong Kong and has served a total of 154,000 people so far. The office was aware of complaints by quarantine guests who found filthy rooms with mould, stains and clogged bathtubs. "We expect more people to travel back to Hong Kong as it has been two years since the start of the pandemic," he said.
