HONG KONG, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Hong Kong will scrap its controversial COVID-19 hotel quarantine policy for all arrivals from early October, more than 2-1/2 years after it was first adopted, news portal HK01 said on Thursday, citing unidentified sources. Hong Kong residents and businesses have slammed the policy, saying it and other strict COVID rules threaten the city's competitiveness and standing as a global financial centre. Currently, arrivals must pay for three days in a hotel and follow that with four days of self-monitoring. Hong Kong still bans public groups of more than four people and masks are mandatory, even for children as young as two.

☆ Taiwan eyes mid-October end to COVID quarantine on road to re-opening
  + stars: | 2022-09-22 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Taiwan has reported six million domestic cases since the beginning of the year, driven by the more infectious Omicron variant. With more than 99% of those showing no or only mild symptoms, the government has relaxed rather than tightened restrictions in its "new Taiwan model". If "everything is under control", the government is aiming to end mandatory quarantine for all arrivals from around Oct. 13, with arrivals rising to 150,000 a week, Lo said. Those who test positive, however, still need to quarantine at home or in designated hotels, the government said. Before the pandemic, Taiwan was a popular tourist destination for mainly Asian visitors, with Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia the most important markets.

REUTERS/Aly SongSHANGHAI, Sept 21 (Reuters) - A top European industry group warned on Wednesday that firms were losing confidence in China and that its standing as an investment destination was being eroded, citing its "inflexible and inconsistently implemented" COVID policy as a key factor. The European Chamber of Commerce published the warnings in a paper it said had input from 1,800 member companies, which also contained 967 recommendations for China, the European Union and European companies related to doing business in the country. The report, which touched on issues from Taiwan to trade, said, for example, that China should refrain from "erratic policy shifts", deepen cooperation with the European Union and increase international flights.

China says its policy is needed to prevent its health system from being overwhelmed as well as an unacceptable loss of life.

Travellers queue up for shuttle bus to quarantine hotels at the Hong Kong International Airport, amid the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, in Hong Kong, China, August 1, 2022. Lee said he was conscious that Hong Kong needed to retain its competitiveness, adding that authorities wanted to bring back events and activities to the city. We would like to have an orderly opening up...because we don't want to have chaos or confusion in the process," he told reporters. Hong Kong, taking its cues from China which is pursuing a zero-COVID policy, is one of the few places in the world to still require travellers from abroad to quarantine upon arrival though the length of quarantine has eased over time. Business groups, diplomats and many residents have slammed the city's COVID-19 rules, saying they threaten Hong Kong's standing as a global financial centre.

BEIJING, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Chinese customs said on Thursday it no longer required cross-border travellers to report certain COVID-related information, such as tests and previous infections, when clearing customs. Mainland China, which still has some of the world's most stringent COVID policies for international travellers, has taken steps to make cross-border travel less onerous, such as shortening the quarantine period and removing some testing and self-isolation requirements for inbound travellers. Those intending to enter China from many countries still have to report tests and other COVID-related information to Chinese embassies before boarding flights, according to embassy websites.

☆ UK train drivers at 8 rail companies to strike on July 30, union says

LONDON, July 14 (Reuters) - Train drivers at eight British rail companies will strike on July 30 over a pay dispute, the drivers’ union ASLEF said on Thursday in the latest industrial action sparked by demands for wages to keep pace with soaring inflation. The Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen (ASLEF) said it had announced the day of strike action after train companies failed to make a pay offer that matched the increased cost of living. "Strike action is, now, the only option available but we are always open to talks if the train companies, or the government, want to talk to us and make a fair and sensible offer," General Secretary Mick Whelan said in an emailed statement. ASLEF said its members at eight companies – Arriva Rail London, Chiltern Railways, Greater Anglia, Great Western, Hull Trains, LNER, Southeastern and West Midlands Trains – would strike. “It’s incredibly disappointing that, just three days after their ballots closed, ASLEF bosses have already opted for destructive strike action, instead of engaging in constructive talks," Britain's transport minister Grant Shapps said.

С 18 января все приезжающие в Великобританию должны представить отрицательный тест на коронавирус. Кроме того, власти страны планируют сделать обязательным для всех приезжих двухнедельный карантин, передает AFP. Джонсон заявил, что новые правила будут действовать как минимум до 15 февраля. «Именно потому, что у нас есть надежда на эту вакцину и риск появления новых штаммов из-за границы, мы должны предпринять дополнительные шаги сейчас, чтобы не допустить проникновения этих штаммов в страну», — сказал британский премьер. Джонсон сказал, что к середине февраля наиболее уязвимые люди будут вакцинированы, и тогда правительство подумает о возможном смягчении ограничений.
