Darryl Chan tested positive for Covid-19 when he landed in Hong Kong last month. More than two weeks later -- and despite never showing any symptoms -- he remains isolated in a hospital bed with no sign of being allowed to leave.
"I think the worst part is not knowing when I'll be able to get out," he said. "You're almost feeling you are back at school, with controlled wake-up and bedtime, (and) not being able to control what you can eat."
Hong Kong, along with mainland China, is one of the few places in the world still pursuing a zero-Covid policy. The city's priority is reopening borders with the mainland, not the rest of the world, Hong Kong authorities have said.

On Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security posted a striking graphic on its official X account. Uncle Sam, a symbol of American patriotism, is depicted nailing a poster to a wall that reads, “Help your country… and yourself.” Written underneath the poster is the sentence, “REPORT ALL FOREIGN INVADERS,” and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement hot line.
