Hong Kong drops COVID tests for international arrivals | DW News

The Chinese special administrative region of Hong Kong is to scrap the requirement for international arrivals to do a mandatory PCR COVID-19 test.

The move, due to go into force December 29, comes after mainland China this month began to wind down its strict regime of COVID preventive measures in an abrupt change of policy following widespread protests.

Both Hong Kong and mainland China have maintained restrictions introduced in early 2020 to mitigate the spread of the novel coronavirus long after the rest of the world loosened them.
