The government should relax the entry quarantine rules before the year ends since it has affected the city’s international image, says a business sector lawmaker. Jeffrey Lam Kin-fung claimed on Sunday that the currently applied quarantine arrangement for arrivals has had adverse effects. It led to the cancellation of several major international events, including the 15th IDBF World Dragon Boat Racing Championships and the Hong Kong Marathon 2022. In a radio programme, Lam called for lifting the quarantine rules as it would be “too late” if they continue to be in force until the end of the year. He cites that top executives from about 20 leading global firms will come to Hong Kong for the financial summit in November.
