Hong Kong Covid-19: This is what happens when you test positive
Darryl Chan tested positive for Covid-19 when he landed in Hong Kong last month. More than two weeks later -- and despite never showing any symptoms -- he remains isolated in a hospital bed with no sign of being allowed to leave.
"I think the worst part is not knowing when I'll be able to get out," he said. "You're almost feeling you are back at school, with controlled wake-up and bedtime, (and) not being able to control what you can eat."
Hong Kong, along with mainland China, is one of the few places in the world still pursuing a zero-Covid policy. The city's priority is reopening borders with the mainland, not the rest of the world, Hong Kong authorities have said.
That means most non-residents are banned from entering, while almost all overseas arrivals must undergo 21 days of quarantine -- even if they are fully vaccinated.
