DESIGNATED HOTELS FOR QUARANTINE IN HONG KONG
Greetings from the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO) in Singapore.
We would like to inform you that the Designated Hotel Scheme for travellers from countries outside China will be implemented from 22 December 2020. This is to further reduce the chance of cross-infection between guests undergoing quarantine and other local guests in hotels. These inbound travellers must undergo 14-day compulsory quarantine at designated quarantine hotels in accordance with the directions under the Prevention and Control of Disease (Regulation of Cross-boundary Conveyances and Travellers) Regulation (Cap. 599H). Designated transport will be arranged for sending them to designated quarantine hotels, with a view to reducing their contact with the community and other guests.
For returning residents arriving in Hong Kong on 21 December 2020 but only manage to arrive at hotel after the deadline on 22 December, they will not be able to check in at a non-designated hotel. To avoid any inconvenience, they are advised to rearrange their room reservation as early as possible.
