Following the new guidelines of the Hong Kong Government, fully-vaccinated business and leisure travellers departing Israel can now enter Hong Kong. On arrival in Hong Kong, travellers with a positive serology test can reduce their compulsory quarantine to seven days, while others will quarantine for 14 days.
