Community cases in Singapore remained very low throughout the time," said MOT.Both cities will closely monitor the COVID-19 situation from now to May 26, and will proceed with the launch"if the situation continues to be steady and under control in both cities", the ministry said.
Hong Kong's Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Edward Yau said that the two governments have reached a consensus on the latest travel bubble arrangements, and will put in place more stringent public health protocols in response to the latest COVID-19 development. "Our goal remains striking a right balance between public health and travel convenience so that the public will feel assured while providing certainty," said Mr Yau.
"The re-launch of ATB not only meets the aspirations of the people and business communities on cross-border travel, but also signifies that gradual resumption of cross-border travel is achievable through mutual collaborations among different places. "We will continue to maintain communication with the Singapore Government and closely monitor the epidemic development of both places to ensure the smooth launch of ATB," he said.
