London (CNN Business) Hong Kong is giving some top finance executives a pass on its strict quarantine rules in an attempt to protect business in the city from harsh coronavirus restrictions. Hong Kong has mandated that most people traveling from abroad have to wear a tracking bracelet and isolate in a hotel room for three weeks. "The government and different financial services regulators believe that Hong Kong should help financial institutions maintain normal operations amid the [pandemic], so as to ensure the stability of the financial system and maintain Hong Kong's status as an international financial center," the government said in a statement. Visiting bankers must submit an itinerary and will still be required to take multiple Covid-19 tests during their stay. Senior executives at listed companies will also be eligible to apply.
