    Govt trialing "Home Quarantine Wristbands" instead of DQH ...

    Have been forwarded wildly speculative posts of people (more precisely someone who knows someone who heard about someone) being pulled out and asked to quarantine at home along with hotel reservations being cancelled and refunded.

    Ben Cowling has tweeted some sort of confirmation...

    No clue what this new arrangement is like - but the chorus of experts and politicians have started singing about 3-5 days hotel quarantine + monitored home quarantine arrangements.

    Not yet hopeful ... but definitely in Inshallah mode.

    It will happen

    And when Tittycron 6.9.1 variant comes in winter -> back to 21 days quarantine

    Yay to wristbands! They are totally foolproof, not a single person has ever taken one off and left it home with his mobile phone...

    I heard this too, from two different sources - both friends of friends though. Apparently they were asked at the airport if they wanted to take part in the trial for home quarantine. I heard it from the two sources on the same day.

    Another opinion from another expert.

    Of course these are a welcomed step in the right direction, however, 7 days total in quarantine (hotel + home) is still a massive deterrence to tourist and business travelers.

    I remember that fiasco two years ago when two guys where seen in a café with the blue "STAYHOMESAFE" wristband, they where shouted upon & where followed wherever they went & even warned the taxi driver that they had the "BAND" - scary!

    That was really early in 2020... the story is that a young girl landed in HK and is suppose to stay in a hotel. Her Uncle decided to flaunt the rules and take her out to a Japanese restaurant. The staff did not notice the band or it was hidden until other diners noticed and informed the staff. They did not want to leave when requested and then wanted to leave when people wanted to call the police. The restaurant was closed for a day to clean costing money and losing money from lost business caused by selfish people.
