Hollywood actor Nicole Kidman secured an exemption from Hong Kong’s strict Covid quarantine rules to shoot a television series in the city, stoking a fresh outcry from critics of the government’s virus containment policies.

A spokesman for the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau on Thursday confirmed local media reports that the Oscar winner was allowed to skip the procedure meant to help detect coronavirus infections.
