With all that this entails in terms of the image of this city, which for a long time was considered a model of excellence. <strong>liberalism<\/strong> economic and social.<\/p>\n<p>Not only have individual freedoms been eroded by the new security law imposed by Beijing in 2020. But they have also been eroded by the \"Covid Zero Case\" policy. A policy that <strong>totally isolates Hong Kong<\/strong> from the rest of the planet in <strong>confining for 14 days<\/strong> any foreigner arriving in the area. This is also reflected in the <strong>suspension of most international airlines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Finally it's <strong>the failure of the Covid zero-case approach<\/strong> which is forcing the local government to show a little more flexibility. There were 1.06 million positive cases in Covid from 19 to 21 March and 6,119 deaths. In mid-February, the former British colony recorded just 52,500 positive cases and 221 deaths...<\/p>\n<p>Hong Kong's uncharismatic Chief Executive, Carrie Lam, has finally acknowledged that <strong>the restrictive measures that have been affecting the daily lives of Hong Kongers for several months had eroded their patience<\/strong>. And that it was necessary to provide a way out of the crisis. It also seems to be taking into account the<strong>exodus of expatriates<\/strong> and wealthy Hong Kongers. More than 140,000 have left the city since the end of 2021, a record in this city of 7 million inhabitants.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #a71f31;\">Flights to France resume<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Announcements of relocations of head offices based in the city have probably moved its councillors.<\/strong>. <strong>Pernod Ricard, Bank of America and even Mandarin Oriental<\/strong> have announced that they are relocating their management. \"\u00a0<em>I have a very strong feeling that some of our financial institutions are losing patience with this sort of isolated status for Hong Kong, even though Hong Kong is a world leader in its field. <strong>international financial centre<\/strong><\/em>\" conceded the Chief Executive...<\/p>\n<p>The first measures have been announced: from <strong>On 1 April, flights to 9 countries will be able to resume - including France, the UK and the USA.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mandatory quarantine <\/strong>in a hotel on arrival in Hong Kong will also be <strong>reduced from 14 to 7 days<\/strong>. Offering the prospect of \"happier days\", the government has also announced that social distances will be eased from 21 April over a period of three months and in stages. Provided that the covid virus is truly brought under control.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the face of the slow agony applied to Hong Kong as a destination over the last two years, the local government finally seems to be considering loosening its grip on the southern Chinese metropolis a little, given the failure of its 'Covid Zero' policy.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":104379,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[89,71],"tags":[2251,1015,1125,2087],"type-darticle":[52],"n_magazine":[],"class_list":["post-122687","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-villes-d-affaires","category-politique-voyages","tag-formalites-voyages","tag-asie","tag-hong-kong","tag-covid-19","type-darticle-breve","vapo-free"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Hong Kong, vers une sortie des restrictions extr\u00eames?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hong Kong devrait r\u00e9instaurer les vols avec 9 pays, dont la France.
