The borders are not fully closed. The traveler is simply subject to additional quarantine.



Yes. My guess is the border would be fully re-opened in July, with June as a possibility.

Although denied by the HKSAR Government, the strike by medical workers has contributed the Mainland border closure. So objectively, if the Government is attempting to re-open the border, there will be another protest/strike, whatever you can imagine.

And this is not the time for it.
If you want to know what genuine 'fake / inaccurate' news is like, just listen to the diatribe from DT at daily press conferences.

I think that most people would understand that the border crossing being 'open' constitutes a semblance of free movement once crossed - not the extremely restrictive option of 14 days enforced quarantine.

The 'protesters' egging on the medical workers to strike was actually a positive move, and sped up the gradual closure of the borders when C-19 was rampant in China and HK was relatively free / in the early stages. Now the table is turned, any repeat of demonstrations against the border opening by medical or others, would be ironic, but nothing else.
