HONG KONG — Hong Kong police arrested and charged Monday (Jan 17) two Cathay Pacific flight attendants for allegedly contravening Covid regulations, after the emergence of the Omicron variant in the territory was traced to their breach of home quarantine.

Like China, Hong Kong maintains a strict zero-Covid strategy that has kept cases low, but has largely cut the finance hub off from both the mainland and the rest of the world for the last two years.

"They had conducted unnecessary activities" on Dec 25 and 27, when they were supposed to be under home quarantine after returning to Hong Kong, the statement said. The revelation of the Cathay quarantine breach piles new pressure on the airline, already battered by the pandemic as border restrictions bring travel to a trickle into a city that used to be a transport and logistics hub.
