The city reported 106 imported cases on Sunday , the first time the number hit triple digits since early 2020 when the record-keeping began.
In recent months, authorities halved hotel quarantine for new arrivals to seven days, allowed non-residents to enter the city again, and eased the system of flight suspensions for airlines that brought in people who tested positive for the virus. President Xi Jinping, who has implemented a zero tolerance approach to the virus in mainland China and hasn't travelled since the pandemic began, will potentially visit the financial hub for the occasion.

Hong Kong has met the conditions for reopening to the rest of the world because most people with recent infections had only mild symptoms, said Professor David Hui, who advises the government on Covid-19 matters, on a radio programme on Saturday.
