Kidman鈥檚 HK pass stirs anger
Print Edition
Hong Kong鈥檚 decision to grant Hollywood star Nicole Kidman a quarantine exemption as she films an Amazon-funded series about the lives of wealthy expats has sparked public anger.
The Chinese financial hub maintains some of the strictest quarantine measures in the world, an approach that has kept virus cases low but left most residents cut off from overseas loved ones for the last 18 months.
Arrivals from high-risk countries have to stay in hotel quarantine for 21 days, while lower-risk countries have seven days鈥 hotel quarantine followed by a further seven days of self-monitoring.
But Kidman, 54, has been allowed to circumvent those rules.
Hong Kong鈥檚 Commerce and Economic Development Bureau confirmed the Australian actress and other film crew had been granted an exemption 鈥渢o carry out designated professional work.鈥
Those exempted must take three coronavirus tests over two weeks following their arrival.
The city鈥檚 tabloids have closely followed Kidman鈥檚 appearances in Hong Kong since touching down last Thursday in a private jet from Australia, including shopping two days after her arrival and later filming in the city鈥檚 Sai Wan District.
Kidman has been announced as an executive producer on 鈥淓xpats鈥, a show based on a 2016 book by Janice YK Lee about the gilded lives of three American women in the city.
