Visitor's Epidemic Prevention Measures: Do they need to be vaccinated? Do they need a rapid test?

Visitors must comply with the vaccination requirements stated in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government’s Vaccine Pass^.

If visitors are recovered COVID-19 patients and can provide relevant documents or proof of diagnosis and recovery, they will be exempted from the vaccination requirements within 180 days from the date of recovery.

Additionally, all visitors (including recovered COVID-19 patients) must provide a negative result from a COVID-19 nucleic acid test conducted within 48 hours prior to the visit. The sample must be collected by a healthcare professional using a combined nasal and throat swab.

Before visiting the hospital, visitors can complete a health declaration form on the Hospital Authority’s website or the “HA Go” mobile application. Upon completion, a QR code will be issued to the visitor. Please present this QR code to the ward staff for verification.

To ensure the health of inpatients and visitors, the following individuals are not allowed to visit:

Those experiencing fever, symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection, loss of taste or smell, diarrhea, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, rash, or conjunctivitis.
Those under quarantine orders.
Those undergoing mandatory testing as required by the government and awaiting results.
Those who have visited specified areas and have not completed the mandatory quarantine and testing requirements imposed by the government upon arrival.
Those who have had contact with confirmed COVID-19 cases or are under medical surveillance within the past 14 days (excluding recovered COVID-19 patients within 90 days from the date of recovery).
