Hong Kong offers top bank executives quarantine exemptions

(UTV | HONG KONG) – Hong Kong is offering top bankers exemptions from strict virus quarantine measures, said the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC).

Senior executives who are fully vaccinated can apply to be exempted from a mandatory 21-day quarantine.

It comes after authorities had previously warned that slow vaccination uptake could hurt the city’s position as a global financial centre.

Hong Kong has some of the world’s strictest quarantine restrictions.
