While this annoyed Hong Kong visitor presents himself in a less than polite manner after his 13th day in hotel quarantine, his anger is understandable. On Tuesday, the Hong Kong government extended the already strict quarantine period (only hotel quarantine is accepted) for inbound visitors from 7 to 14 days. The reason: one person had been tested positive two days into their seven-day hotel quarantine. Hong Kong, like most East Asian countries, follows a zero-covid strategy. However, this is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain due to the particularly contagious delta variant.
