Hong Kong requires all passengers arriving in the special zone from midnight on March 19 to wear electronic bracelets to control the self-isolation that blocks Covid-19.

Hong Kong authorities said from midnight on March 19, all passengers arriving in the city would have to be isolated and under medical supervision for two weeks in an attempt to prevent Covid-19 from spreading. These people will wear electronic bracelets connected to smartphone apps, to control self-isolation at home.

"Those who fail to comply or knowingly provide false information to a health authority are liable for criminal penalties, with a fine of HK $ 5,000 (US $ 644) and a prison term of 6 months," the statement said. For Hong Kong officials' entry, please specify. The Hong Kong government plans to use about 60,000 electronic bracelets.

The information comes as Chief Executive Carrie Lam said that out of 57 new cases of nCoV recorded in Hong Kong over the past two weeks, 50 were foreign tourists.

Declan Chan, a Hong Kong resident returning from Zurich, Switzerland on March 17 was surprised to learn that measures would be implemented by the special zone government to stop Covid-19.

"I thought I just had to fill out the form, but I didn't know that I had to wear an electronic bracelet," Chan told CNBC over the phone, while being isolated at home.

Chan said he witnessed a passenger refusing to comply with the rules and booked a ticket to leave Hong Kong immediately. Chan was guided around the house so that location technology could accurately identify his living space.

In the process of self-isolation, Chan plans to use food and goods delivery applications online. The Hong Kong citizen said he was delighted to return to his home country and understand why authorities have implemented electronic wristbands to control people who are self-isolated.

In addition to the Chinese Special Administrative Region, many Asian governments have also taken drastic measures to control the spread of Covid-19. Malaysia has frozen the country, while Singapore has tightened its entry into the country.

Covid-19 has appeared in 166 countries and territories, causing nearly 200,000 infections and nearly 8,000 deaths. Hong Kong has so far recorded 168 infections and 4 deaths.
