Hong Kong’s border control rules untenable, Carrie Lam says, while city logs 1,276 cases

Hong Kong’s entry restrictions due to Covid-19 are untenable and the city should decide whether to fully reopen to the world by the end of this year to revive its economy, Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor has said.

During a televised interview on Sunday, Lam also acknowledged that members of the business sector were losing patience with the entry curbs and little time remained to decide whether to ease the measures.

“There is less time to make the decision. If the city is still sticking to the existing border control measures in the coming half-year, or by the end of this year, I will be a bit worried,” she said.
