The Hong Kong government has pledged improvements at its quarantine facility at Penny’s Bay. The changes were promised after several Beijing loyalist lawmakers and senior government officials slammed a lack of services there after they were sent into quarantine following potential exposure to the coronavirus at a birthday party on January 3, 2022. The city has seen a small rise in Covid-19 infections since late December 2021. Pandemic restrictions are in place through the Lunar New Year holiday period. Penny’s Bay, with a capacity of around 3,400 units, is assigned to handle people who have had close contact with infected individuals as well as travellers from “high-risk” countries.
