The epidemic situation in Hong Kong is generally stable but has not been "cleared". The government extended the "Restriction Order", "Mask Order" and other epidemic prevention measures for 14 days to June 9.

The difference between the renewal of this measure and the last one is that people arriving from Taiwan must be quarantined at designated quarantine hotels.

The Food and Health Bureau stated that although the number of confirmed cases has remained at a low level recently, based on past experience, relaxation of social distancing measures may lead to a rebound of the epidemic. The current vaccination rate in Hong Kong is still far below the level that can cause herd immunity. If a new wave of epidemics unfortunately arrives, it is not enough to build a herd immunity barrier for protection. To prevent the epidemic from rebounding, the government will continue to maintain the current social distancing measures.
