After eighteen months of quarantine measures to prevent Covid-19 infections from being imported into Hong Kong, the Hong Kong government has announced reduced hotel quarantine stays for people who are fully vaccinated and those who can provide proof of an approved Covid-19 antibody test.
With many of us hoping to travel to see loved ones around the world this summer, we’ve put together a guide to everything you need to know where and how to get a government-approved antibody test in Hong Kong––and what your test could mean for your hotel quarantine requirements.
What is Covid-19 antibody testing?
It has been over a year of Covid-19 in Hong Kong and it can sometimes feel hard to remember what life was like before the pandemic. But, with the vaccine rollout currently forging ahead, there is hope that those times aren’t lost forever, and that we won’t be eternally stuck in a world of Zoom meetings, social distancing and face masks.
Luckily, we live in a city where we have multiple vaccine brands available to us and the process is quick and free of charge. The vaccines are exciting for us, and with summer approaching and low Covid-19 numbers being reported, it s given us all hope that Hong Kong is finally on the road to recovery. One day soon, we’ll find ourselves doing what we were doing just two years ago.
