Hong Kong will put Britain back on its list of “extremely high-risk” countries and ban incoming travellers from July 1 in a bid to keep out Covid-19 variants, officials said on Monday.Health authorities confirmed an earlier Post report on the decision to suspend all passenger flights from Britain, which comes days after the city toughened quarantine rules for visitors.The suspension means anyone who has stayed there for more than two hours during the past 21 days cannot enter Hong Kong.Local health authorities had already moved Britain from “high-risk” to “very high-risk” on Monday, meaning vaccinated travellers would also have to quarantine upon arrival for 21 days, like their unvaccinated counterparts. In the announcement, officials cited a “recent rebound of the epidemic situation” and the “widespread Delta variant” in Britain, adding it would continue to “closely monitor” other factors, including vaccination progress and passenger volume, to adjust travel restrictions for various countries.
