	It is safe to visit Hong Kong, and there is no need to cancel any trip. WHO is not recommending travel restrictions related to the global outbreak of H1N1. While like the rest of the world Hong Kong is not immune from H1N1, travel and business activities are as usual in Hong Kong.
2.	Will I be put under quarantine in a hotel if I had close contact with those who were found infected in Hong Kong?
	No. The administration of observed medication to or quarantine of close contacts of H1N1 patients has stopped. Only household contacts of confirmed patients will be put under medical surveillance and health advice will be provided.

	No. Flight passengers in close contact with H1N1 patients will not be traced.
4.	Will I be quarantined if I had a fever or simply flu like symptoms upon my arrival at Hong Kong?
	No. Travellers with mild symptoms detected at boundary control points will be provided with face mask and guidance notes for seeking medical consultation. Severe cases will be taken to public hospitals for medial examination.
5.	Will the whole tour group’s itinerary be affected if one of the group members is infected?
	No. Travellers in contact with a H1N1 patient will not be traced or quarantined.
6.	What should I do if I had a fever or simply flu like symptoms during my stay in Hong Kong?
	Local tour guides and travel agents are equipped with the necessary precaution measures. They will help tourists in need to seek medical help. The Hospital Authority has opened eight designated flu clinics for managing patients with influenza-like-illnesses. They shall cater for all patients with influenza-like symptoms (self-referred or referred by other medical practitioners), without the need for prior booking. We will ensure that all patients, whether they are locals or visitors, receive timely and the appropriate treatment. Medical charges at public clinics will be waived if a traveller is referred by the Hong Kong Department of Health on public health reasons.
7.	Do I, as a traveller, have to pay for the relevant medical charges if admitted to a public hospital or clinic for medical check or treatment in relation to H1N1?
	Medical charges for attendance at public hospitals/clinics for medical examination will be waived if a traveller is referred by the Hong Kong Department of Health on public health reasons. If he/she is eventually confirmed to be infected with H1N1, he/she will be advised whether hospitalisation is required based on his/her clinical conditions. If a patient chooses treatment at a hospital, he/she has to pay the medical charges for hospitalisation.
