Hong Kong and Singapore plan to open an 'air travel bubble' that allows residents to travel between the two Asian hubs without requiring quarantine or restrictive control measures, authorities announced

There are no restrictions on travel purpose -- visitors can come and go for business, pleasure, study or otherwise. They will fly on designated flights that only serve travel-bubble passengers.

However, this all depends on the Covid-19 situation, the statement added -- if the virus numbers shift in either location, the plan could change with it by increasing or decreasing the number of flights, or even suspending the program.The travel bubble and the low Covid-19 cases reflect a remarkable turnaround in both places.

The restrictions drew public criticism at times -- construction workers and daily laborers, for instance, were photographed crouching by the sidewalk or near public bathrooms with takeout boxes. Earlier this spring, Singapore struggled to contain soaring infection numbers, with daily cases surpassing 1,000 a day by April. The vast majority of cases occurred in crowded dormitories for migrant workers, many from South and Southeast Asian countries, such as Bangladesh and India.
