At least for CVS customers, a QR code can be obtained on the CVS app. One can only hope Singapore will accept these pharmacy generated codes at some point. I don’t see how the CVS QR code is any better or worse than the others.

Yes, if you already got your shots at CVS or Walmart or a few other designated places you should be able to get a qualifying QR code. But many people did not, and they are simply frozen out of travel to Singapore. It's impossible for them to qualify.

Further, not just any QR code will do. It has to be issued by a place listed in the CommonTrust Network's registry of trusted issuers.

Even if you have a good QR code remember also the concern about a missing middle name.

Besides, I don't know how it is in the US, but in most of Europe, you only get a final QR code when you are done getting your jabs.
Singapore expects 1 QR code per jab. The rule might be updated, but for the time being those vaccinated in EU (except in Germany and in France during summer) are virtually banned from entry.

There is no more two hours allowance for transiting. Once you are off the plane is a group A country you are from group A when you land in HK.

Thank you. I had missed that. And to think I thought the two-hour transit rule was too strict.

The England NHS covid pass gives you 1 QR code per jab (Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have a different system so not sure about them).

Air Canada flights from Vancouver have been halted for two weeks starting October 16.

"They explained that it is because passenger flight AC007 operated by Air Canada arriving from Vancouver, Canada, to Hong Kong on October 13 had one passenger confirmed to have Covid-19, and one passenger failed to comply with specified requirements under the Prevention and Control of Disease (Regulation of Cross-boundary Conveyances and Travellers) Regulation."

Keep it up HK! They can open up in 2030 and keep everyone safe and sound!! Add oil!

Haven't seen AC post any update about the cancellations on their website and their YVR-HKG flights during that period are still bookable.

Many times flight suspension is announced at HK and the airline at many locations would have no idea and see the flights still listed in the "system" .
I call someone internal at AC ops at YVR and he still doesn't see any change is his system.

It's also reported on the Government's official news site. Maybe Air Canada protested or got a delay? It does seem an extraordinary overreaction. It certainly reminds everyone of the risks, the needless risks, of planning a return to Hong Kong.

CPG don’t even allow their politicians to fly up to BJ for NPC https://www.hk01.com/%E6%94%BF%E6%83...80%8B%E6%A1%88 “due to presence of unknown origin cases in HK”

Seems like AC7 is doing yvr-icn-hkg for the next few weeks... :confused:

Seems like theres a loophole with the 'ban'

How does that work? Does your PCR test now have to be within 72 hours of departure from Seoul?

HK and Singapore both saw a diminution in rankings of the most attractive destinations for expat workers, partly because of restrictive covid policies. Also the national security law foisted on HK by China is also cited as a reason.

Some stranded workers in HK are aware for instance that Europe has loosened up travel restrictions.

Still, HK and Singapore are both expected to retain their status as the most attractive destinations because of the quality of education, health care and overall infrastructure.
