Travel bubble with Singapore to launch as scheduled in May despite recent cases, Hong Kong minister says

The Straits Times and Reuters Hong Kong will launch its quarantine-free travel bubble with Singapore as scheduled on May 26 despite sporadic local coronavirus infections, the city’s commerce minister has said. Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Edward Yau Tang Wah offered the reassurance as Hong Kong confirmed two new Covid-19 cases on Wednesday (May 12). One involved a domestic helper arriving from the Philippines and the other a 42-year-old man linked to a local cluster of variant infections connected to a 30-year-old engineer from Dubai. New research however suggests the engineer contracted the mutated virus from a person staying in an adjacent hotel room during quarantine.
