HONG KONG—Hong Kong said on Monday it would shorten the quarantine period for vaccinated people arriving in the city to 7 days from 14, provided travelers show sufficient antibodies against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus.

City government leader Carrie Lam told a media briefing the shorter period of quarantine would only be for people who had a second vaccination dose at least 14 days before their arrival.
