I will keep trying.
I don't know when you plan flying, but you are aware that additional restrictions keep popping up.
Virus statistics in some countries are highly unreliable, in part because of the lack of tests. That could be the case for Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand,.. And Sweden already has a large number of case per inhabitant. There are not so many beach destinations that you can fly from HKG, at least with certainty in a month time.
