The first group tour from Hong Kong to Japan in more than two years finally set off on Wednesday amid great fanfare after several delays, with excited travellers not deterred by compulsory hotel quarantine upon their return home.
This came despite Hong Kong’s health officials reporting 1,447 Covid-19 infections on Wednesday, the highest in two months since 1,433 cases were recorded on April 12. The daily figure included 124 imported cases. The city’s coronavirus tally now stands at 1,230,541, with 9,397 related deaths.
