Hong Kong: Quarantine hotel scheme smooth The quarantine arrangement at the hotels under the Designated Quarantine Hotel Scheme has been smooth since its full implementation today, the Government said. It has arranged for a dedicated team to inspect the designated hotels. All 36 designated quarantine hotels must solely be receiving travellers arriving from foreign places for compulsory quarantine. These hotels provide some 12,000 rooms of various prices and types. They passed the inspection conducted by the Department of Health, the Electrical & Mechanical Services and the Buildings departments for ensuring their design, facilities and workflow fulfilled the infection control requirements. To further reduce contact between people subject to quarantine and the local community, the Government has arranged all travellers to be accommodated at designated hotels to board the designated transport to proceed to their hotels, starting December 18.
