I think mandatory vaccination might have just started in HK (I wasn’t paying attention to dinner table talk last night), first w/ the domestic helpers from foreign lands, and they typically are from Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, with perhaps a dash from China (cooks). Also, resident folks who have gotten vaccinated may enjoy certain privileges in accessing venues and such. One or another way, the herding has begin. Let’s see how it works. The last few holdouts, once ID-ed, would soon be in the minority, i.e. the easiest group to pick on.

Getting serious ... bloomberg.com Australians Returning From India Could Face 5 Years in Jail Rob Verdonck updated 35 minutes ago We're tracking the latest on the coronavirus outbreak and the global response. Sign up here for our daily newsletter on what you need to know. Australia has temporarily banned its citizens from returning from India. The pause on allowing in travelers that were in India within 14 days of arriving will take effect from Monday, Health Minister Greg Hunt said in an emailed statement. Breaches of the ban could lead to a fine of A$66,600 ($51,000), five years imprisonment, or both. Health workers turn away a vehicle at the main entrance of a hospital in New Delhi on April 25. Photographer: T. Narayan/Bloomberg As virus cases surge in countries such as India, there are fears Australia’s quarantine system will buckle with more returning travelers testing positive. While the nation has come close to eliminating local transmission of the virus by closing its international border to non-residents -- other than a new travel bubble with New Zealand -- occasional cases leak into the community from quarantine hotels. “The risk assessment that informed the decision was based on the proportion of overseas travelers in quarantine in Australia who have acquired a Covid-19 infection in India,” Hunt said. Australia on Tuesday banned all flights from India until at least May 15, but it was still possible to fly in through a third country. The new measure seeks to close that loophole and will be reviewed on May 15. The nation’s cabinet will focus on repatriating vulnerable Australians from India, with dedicated flights starting as soon as possible after May 15, Hunt said Friday in a press conference.
