HONG KONG - China may further relax its border restrictions with Hong Kong, including shortening mandatory hotel quarantine for arrivals from the city, the South China Morning Post reported.
Tam also believes the mainland may allow more visitors from Hong Kong to cross the border every day, Sing Tao Daily reported. The current system to enter via the land border into Shenzhen is a lottery for about 2,000 daily slots for quarantine hotels. Competition is intense, with some people taking days to secure a slot.

Tam said the discussions are stalled because of multiple technical problems, including difficulties in hiring staff willing to participate in a"closed loop" system where they must work for a long period of time without being able to return home.
