In an earlier statement, the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office said China will cancel flight capacity limits from Hong Kong and Macau, and will resume flight transit to the mainland from the two cities. China will require a 48-hour negative PCR test result for arrivals from Hong Kong, it said.
The border between mainland China and Hong Kong will gradually reopen from Sunday, including a daily cap on the number of travellers, paving the way for a restoration of economic and social ties that have been disrupted for three years.
Hong Kong will set a maximum limit of about 60,000 people allowed to travel into the mainland from the financial hub, Chief Executive John Lee said at a briefing Thursday.
