New rules demand though that they remain segregated from local community while overseas; fully vaccinated aircrews, meanwhile, will be allowed to bypass isolation without that conditionCrews from destinations deemed ‘very high risk’, including Britain and the Philippines, will not be exempted even if they have had two jabs
Why is Hong Kong’s coronavirus ‘vaccine bubble’ plan already drawing flak?
Hong Kong’s latest efforts to incentivise coronavirus vaccinations have proved unpopular with some.
Covid-19 contagion among vaccinated individuals is still being studied but the likelihood of post-vaccination spreading is likely to be reduced.
Hong Kong will allow locally based, unvaccinated cargo flight crews to skip quarantine if they have stayed in six Asia-Pacific countries deemed lower risk, while fully vaccinatedaircrews will also be allowed to bypass isolation, the Post has learned.The new policy, seen in a document obtained by the Post, was revealed hours after the government on Wednesday night tightened criteria for banning flights as well as entry rules for passengers from high-risk countries where new coronavirus
variants have been identified.
