Hong Kong, Nigeria scrap COVID-19 travel rules for international travellers
Hong Kong is relaxing COVID-19 curbs, with the decision in line with other countries relaxing travelling restrictions. This move comes in the wake of boosting resumption of travel and business, as the said ‘amber’ code has also been removed that meant people had limited access to restaurants and bars. If reports are to go by, the government’s move to scrap its mobility-tracking app that controlled the access of people to restaurants and venues such as gyms, clubs and salons, comes after mainland China dropped the requirement.
Meanwhile, Nigeria also removed COVID-19 testing requirements for international travellers, and it’s also no longer mandatory to wear masks on flights and inside airport buildings.
