Guangdong and Fujian could be pilot provinces for HK border reopening
The quarantine-free travel between Hong Kong and the mainland may be implemented gradually next month, with Guangdong and Fujian as the pilot provinces, according to local media reports.
The report cited sources that Guangdong and Fujian were chosen to be the first to re-embrace Hong Kong’s travellers as they enjoy the most intensive commuter flow with the city.
However, the sources added that visitors with essential official and business duties or emergency needs are likely to be the first batch of entrants.
This came as media reported that Hong Kong could resume quarantine-free travel with the mainland as early as January but will still have to undergo three days of medical surveillance.
Sources said Guangdong health authorities already have a timetable for border reopening, and cross-border travel could resume early next month at the earliest.
