Chief Executive Carrie Lam suspended a policy that would make vaccinations mandatory for all foreign domestic workers. The new bill was announced to go under review yesterday but faced criticism for its discriminative nature (paywalled).

A bill allowing foreign-trained doctors to work in Hong Kong will undergo LegCo review this month. The policy would allow HK residents from under 100 institutions abroad to return for work.
