​The Government announced today (January 17) that in light of the latest pandemic situation in the Mainland, Xiangzhou District of Zhuhai in Guangdong Province will be designated as one of the "at-risk places that are temporarily inapplicable under the Return2hk/Come2hk Scheme". Given the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) Zhuhai Port is situated in Xiangzhou District of Zhuhai, any person arriving from the Zhuhai Port to Hong Kong through HZMB will not be exempted from compulsory quarantine under the Return2hk or Come2hk Scheme from 0.00am on January 18 onwards.
"The arrangement above will take effect from January 18 at 0.00am. Quota applications for entering Hong Kong from the Zhuhai Port through HZMB under the Return2hk and Come2hk Schemes will be suspended. Persons who have applied for quotas to enter Hong Kong from the Zhuhai Port through HZMB under the Return2hk or Come2hk Scheme beforehand will not be exempted from compulsory quarantine using the relevant boundary control point to enter Hong Kong. The Government will send SMS notifications to those who have already applied for quotas and are affected to inform them of the arrangement," said the Government spokesman.
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government will continue to maintain close communication and liaison with the Guangdong Provincial Government on the pandemic prevention and control measures of the two places.
