HONG KONG: Hong Kong will drop its COVID-19 mask mandate, chief executive John Lee said on Tuesday (Feb 28), in a move to lure back visitors and business and restore normal life more than three years after stringent rules were first imposed in the financial hub. The measure will take effect from Wednesday,
for most locations, except for public transportation, hospitals and a handful of other areas.
Hong Kong's move to scrap masks comes after its government this month launched a promotional campaign called"Hello Hong Kong" to bring back tourists and businesses which have steered clear of the former British colony since 2020.
