Boarding and quarantine arrangements

for persons arriving at Hong Kong
under "vaccine bubble" concept
effective from 3 June 2021 at 0.00am

The boarding and quarantine arrangements applicable to

a person arriving at Hong Kong depend on:

1. What places the person arriving at Hong Kong has stayed in

on the day of boarding for/arrival at Hong Kong, or
the 21 days before that day

2. Whether the person arriving at Hong Kong

is fully vaccinated
The 14th day after a person has completed a COVID-19 vaccination course is counted by taking the next day after the person
received all of the recommended dose(s) of COVID-19 vaccine as the 1st day.
For example, for a person who has not been infected with COVID-19 previously and received the last recommended dose
of COVID-19 vaccine on 10 May 2021, the "1st day" would be 11 May and the "14th day" would be 24 May.
This person can be considered "fully vaccinated" starting on 24 May.
For persons arriving at Hong Kong whose vaccines were administered outside Hong Kong, apart from the
COVID-19 vaccines already recognised for use in Hong Kong, other vaccines included on this list are also accepted:
