HONG KONG: Unvaccinated Hong Kong government employees, as well as education and health workers, will soon have to pay for regular Covid-19 tests, city leader Carrie Lam said yesterday, announcing measures to persuade more people to get vaccinated.
Hong Kong has gone 56 days without local coronavirus cases but heavy travel restrictions remain in place, with hotel quarantine required for all arrivals. If it is purely a personal option not to get vaccinated and help society achieve herd immunity, that is not something a responsible government should allow or tolerate, Mrs Lam said.
