The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge will have a daily quota of 2,000 people allowed to return to Hong Kong. Hong Kong residents returning to the city from Guangdong or Macau will be exempt from mandatory quarantine starting from November 23, as long as they tested negative for Covid and register with the Hong Kong government in advance. The scheme will be open for reservation on November 18, applicants will need to reserve for their slot between Wednesday and Friday one week before their return. “Once the operation of this scheme is smooth and in place, technically, if the boundary control points are smooth sailing all-round, there will be no need for any quota at all,” he said. Returnees hoping to skip the quarantine requirement will be required to register online in advance and must demonstrate that they had tested negative for coronavirus in the past three days at one of 39 recognized medical facilities in Guangdong or one of four in Macau.-RTHK/The Standard
