BEIJING: China will begin normalising travel between the mainland and Hong Kong from Sunday , Beijing announced Thursday, easing painful pandemic restrictions that have kept the border mostly sealed for almost three years.
Both Hong Kong and China stuck to zero-COVID policies in which strict travel curbs and mandatory quarantine rules caused arrivals to plummet. On Thursday China's Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office announced that travel will"gradually and orderly resume" from Sunday - the same day China scraps mandatory quarantine for overseas arrivals.People travelling to the mainland from Hong Kong will still be required to present a negative nucleic acid test result taken 48 hours before departure. But they will no longer need to undergo on-site polymerase chain reaction tests on arrival.
The statement did not say how many checkpoints would be reopened, or whether there would be a daily quota on border crossings.A government source told the South China Morning Post that mainland travellers entering Hong Kong following the border reopening would similarly be required to show a negative PCR result obtained within 48 hours before departure.
