Also, here’s an example of how bizarre and cruel the HKG government has become:
We have some good friends in HK that are from Europe. They went to Europe for vacation, then came back to HK last month. They went through the mandatory 14 day hotel room isolation (which involves multiple tests throughout the stay).
After completing the 14 days, they went home. Seven days AFTER they left the hotel isolation, a person that was on the same floor as them tested positive for COVID. The government tracked down everyone on that floor that was staying there at the same time as the positive person, and forced them to quarantine AGAIN but this time at the much, much worse Penny Bay quarantine camp for 21 days!!
So this included our friends, who received a call from the government that they were coming to their house and forcing all four of them to go to the quarantine center. The government initially was going to separate all four members of the family, including the mother, father, and teenage son and daughter.
The mom (our friend) flipped out on the official that was going to separate everyone, and also got her consulate involved. Only after that, did the government agree to let the daughter quarantine with the mom and son with the father. They also negotiated seven days credit of quarantine, so now they “only” have to do 14 days of extra quarantine at Penny Bay.
My last day in HKG was in August, my wife got out in early October with our two dogs. Thank God we are done with that place, it turned into Orwellian nightmare scary quick.
