Hong Kong to Ban Non-Residents and Transits Starting Wednesday, 25 March 2020
Hong Kong will be banning non-residents from the territory starting Wednesday. Supposedly the ban will be in place for 14 days.
But apparently non-residents can continue to arrive by land from the Mainland, if they have been there for at least 14 days.
Transit passengers are also being banned.
Bars are being ordered not to serve alchohol.
Myself, I think this measure does very little good, given that non-resident arrivals are low in any event with the quarantine in place.
What the Government needs to do is provide quarantine for all arrivals, so they don't quarantine at home with their families, who are free to circulate outside. Or close the airport entirely.
