Beijing to Fully Reopen Border Between Mainland and Hong Kong, Macao

What’s new: China’s cabinet announced Friday that the Chinese mainland will fully reopen its borders with Hong Kong and Macao on Feb. 6, dropping existing quotas and scrapping Covid test requirements for some inbound travelers from these cities.

People entering the mainland from the two special administrative regions with no travel history abroad in the past seven days will no longer need to present a negative nucleic acid test result upon entry, the State Council’s Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office said in a statement.
