Nicole Kidman gets quarantine exemption by Hong Kong for TV series: media

Hong Kong: As Hong Kong braces for more draconian COVID-19 travel restrictions to take effect from midnight Thursday, Australian actor Nicole Kidman received an exemption from the government to skip quarantine, media reported.

The exemption was given to allow her to film an Amazon television series called The Expats, online news site HK01 reported, a move that contrasts sharply with up to three weeks of hotel-mandated quarantine that residents must do after entering the Chinese-ruled hub. Reuters could not independently verify the information.
