'The border control measures have really made people very impatient,” Lam says.

HONG KONG : Outgoing Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam said the city can’t function as a global financial hub if quarantine controls remain, adding pressure on the next administration to relax border curbs.

While Hong Kong lifted a ban on non-residents last month, provided they are fully vaccinated, all international arrivals are still subject to seven-day hotel quarantine. "Once we could bring down the hotel quarantine period or, as some have suggested, replace it with home quarantine measures, I’m sure we will be seeing a lot of people coming to Hong Kong,” she said.

The divergence of Covid policies has made it impossible to reopen the city’s China border for the foreseeable future, Lam said at a Legislative Council meeting Thursday.
