      The VTL with HK is both or one sided?
      Hong Kong is following Mainland China \"Zero Case\" Policy and will not allow foreigners to entry without serving quarantine.

        To add, yesterday we had 19k+ new cases. Hence I am surprised by the announcement.
        But still only 20+ people in ICU. The relaxation is because most people (fully-vaccinated) will not suffer unduly from catching Covid (Omicron) now. With earlier strains, with this no. of cases, there might be hundreds in ICU.

        The more people get it and recover, the more protected everyone will be, and the faster we can relax further.

          How to celebrate when there were seven persons died from Covid 19 yesterday and nine persons died on the day before yesterday? 😒[/quote]
          There are countries where thousands die of Covid each day. And there are many other causes of death which take larger nos. of lives each day. I don't celebrate anyone's death, but I do celebrate the relaxation of measures.

            But, 6 is not enough for 7 days of testings. Still need to buy extra.
            Good that it's now reduced to 5 days of ART. And it'll be called HRN, instead of HRW.

                Of course it's one way. My relatives just went back & had to be isolated at home for 14 days. They can cook in their own condo and WFH.

                  Pardon me, maybe I’m too innocent, but I dont see how can cheat if the video call is having a live supervisor looking at you every step including opening a fresh ART kit, writing down your last 4 digits of NRIC and date, show the entire table during the whole process & no off-camera switcheroo of kits.[/quote]
                  Some foreign workers may seal up those buffer solutions used by their infected roommates and use these used buffer solutions to perform the ART test during video call, the supervisor may not be able to spot this used buffer solution got problem via video call.

                    Scientifically speaking I dont think any human virus will survive inside a buffer solution for very long as it is not a living host…
