A Hong Kong hotel has refunded a HK$5,000 (S$868) "cleaning fee" it imposed on a guest who tested positive for Covid-19 recently, after the family protested. Homemaker Vivien Siu told the Post she objected because the charge was not made clear when her Australian in-laws made an online booking to stay at the Ibis Hong Kong Central and Sheung Wan.
Some hotels are preparing for the city’s universal testing measures, with some staff being offered double their wages to work front-of-house at isolation facilities.
The new rules will mandate testing at least every three days for those who handle cargo, deal with passengers or drive travellers to isolation; city confirms five new coronavirus cases, bans Qatar Airways flights from Doha.
