The detection of three imported cases of Covid-19 caused by the omicron variant in Hong Kong won’t affect the city’s reopening plans with mainland China, an official said.
Preparations for restoring streamlined cross-border travel are underway, said Sophia Chan, secretary for food and health, during a press briefing on Monday. The city reported its third omicron infection in a 37-year-old traveler from Nigeria, on top of two cases found last week.
