HONG KONG—A day after a group representing some of the world’s biggest banks urged Hong Kong’s government to consider more open borders earlier this week, the city said it had no plans to abandon its zero-tolerance approach to Covid-19. Instead, the financial hub said it would tighten measures further.
As much of the world has begun opening borders and making plans to eventually treat the disease as endemic, Hong Kong and mainland China have shown no signs of easing some of the strictest coronavirus containment regimes.
