Flights from Manila usually arrive shortly after midday. Do the passengers get fully processed the same day?

It is not really going to matter. The Philippines is designated as an high risk area so even if the test proves negative all travellers including HK residents must head to an hotel and stay in the hotel room (without leaving) for 14 days mandatory quarantine. This is addition to the nucleic acid test required before boarding the inbound aircraft.

Hong Kong bans Air India to operate flights to HKG for two weeks, after Hong Kong detected 11 confirmed cases from one flight from New Delhi. The Cap. 599H authorized Secretary for Food and Health to ask passengers from specific regions to have negative test reports within 72 hours before departure. Even with this requirement, 11 passengers from India are infected with COVID-19. Now the government invokes another article in Cap. 599H to ban flights from India operated by Air India. |

Not entirely sure how the airline is at fault if people presumably either fake their PCR test results, or catch COVID between the test and the flight - I thought the test wasn't sensitive enough to catch if you had it on the flight. Either way, will reduce the flow from India which seems to have been a general aim of both governments anyway. When you look at the website there is a definite pattern that Air India flights have a much higher number of cases on average than the one or two per flight otherwise listed - and randomly around the plane - it isn't like it is one family travelling together: https://www.chp.gov.hk/files/pdf/flights_trains_en.pdf

Anyone in NY gone through this process?
Thinking of booking JFK - HKG soon :cool:
Has anybody in NY gone through this process, and recommend a clinic / lab / healthcare provider since it's not likely a CityMD would be able to meet their 72 hour turnaround and lab certificate and their song and dance :D |
Antigen yes https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trip...l#post32678725
But not the PCR/nucleic acid test HK is asking for |

Anyone knows the criteria for inclusion in the list of "high-risk" countries?
The covid situation is evolving; for example Europe is seeing a surge. Any indication on whether new countries are being planned to be added. What was the delay between the announcement and the actual enforcement? I am considering advancing my flight to Hong Kong just in case Many thanks |

I was on BA31 which arrived just after 13 00. I completed the testing before being sent to the gate holding area 45 minutes from disembarkation. A Cebu Pacific flight landed after 14 00 and passengers from both these planes were accommodated in the mid-course terminal. Each flight is allocated its own specific gate and each individual passenger their own personal numbered seat. Walking around is allowed but fraternisation discouraged. The results for both flights came through about the same time at 21 00 which meant the shuttles to immigration boarded BA and 5J passengers together |
