The latest rules

Travellers are also advised to keep photographic proof of their test results or reports for up to 90 days for inspection by government personnel.
International passengers who are transiting or transferring via Hong Kong do not need to follow these measures.
Overseas visitors are advised to conduct a daily RAT between the day of arrival (day 0) and day 5 of the visit however, this is no longer mandatory.
Travellers are now free to enter restaurants, attractions, performance venues and more on arrival in Hong Kong.
Social distancing rules have also been scrapped however, masks are still required to be worn on public transport and in public spaces.
