This is great news for pax to HKG on BA, CX or VS.
HKSAR requires predeparture "nucleic acid tests", s LAMP qualifies 9not antigen).

Most other countries require a PCR test, so that is more cumbersome.

One reason that Hong Kong allows the LAMP rapid test, is that all arriving pax get a PCR test n arrival plus 14 days quarantine. Hence, the departure test is only an additional precaution.

If you look at the Collinson website, it states that tests for Italy are coming soon.
