Under the epidemic, returning from other places to Hong Kong needs to stay in a quarantine hotel for isolation at their own expense, but there is a shortage of quarantine hotel rooms from time to time.
The Executive Director of the Hong Kong Hotel Owners Association, Lee Han-sung, stated on the RTHK program this morning (19th) that the Hong Kong government has mentioned increasing the number of hotels in the next round of quarantine. The total number of rooms will increase from 10,000 to 12,000, of which the main ones are Low- and medium-priced, four-star or less hotels.
Lee Han-sung said on the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millenniums" this morning that the fifth round of designated quarantine hotels will end at the end of next month, and Christmas will follow in December, and the new year will follow. It is expected that the number of returnees to Hong Kong will increase.
The Hong Kong government intends to increase the number of hotels in the sixth round. It is expected to add about 2,000 rooms, bringing the total to 12,000, mainly for low- and medium-priced hotels below four-star level.
He said that hotels of different levels have their markets, even five-star hotels have people staying in for quarantine.
Lee Seoul said that the hotel will decide whether to switch to a quarantine hotel based on commercial considerations. If the hotel mainly serves local long-term tenants, it may not be converted to a quarantine hotel.
However, some hotels may be converted to quarantine hotels in response to the increase in the number of people returning to Hong Kong later.

He also said that the hotel will never allow quarantine persons to enter or leave.
