carrie lam had a different tone in her voice last week, almost exhaustion. for a relaxation . most countries coming in had to beep up in a hotel for 14 days at their own expense and given the numbers, it did not drive, acknowledged by carrie lam. we will hear part of the interview. it is almost a foregone conclusion they will scrap the ban but the question is when they will relax the 14 day quarantine in a hotel down to what he expects to be 70's. there is still a fifth wave. the numbers are down. over 14,000 new cases, the lowest in weeks but still 246 new deaths. there are more deaths from covid in hong kong than the rest of mainland china combined, at least the reported cases from the government. so they are possibly winding down from the peak but they have to be vigilant but there could be relaxation coming this morning when carrie lam speaks at 11:00 this morning. shenzhen was locked down for a week and that has been lifted. authorities feel the wave is under control there. it raises questions about supply chain issues. that is the hyatt manufacturing a

when it comes to hong kong, i think carrie lam's press conference was quite telling.ession where she basically acknowledged that the government is now aware that tolerance is faded when it comes to some of the strictest restrictions in the world. he could hear some signs of them trying to weigh out these covid policies and if they need to change tact in some way. also, the amount of time you need to quarantine at a hotel if you are flying into hong kong. christ we will be watching some of those stocks at the china open. we are talking about those related to the economic reopening. which stock are we talking about? casinos like mgm and other restaurant chains as well. we had seen a little bit more covid easing in south korea as well. this may be leading to a little bit more upside when it comes to the asian markets. take a look at futures trading at the moment. u.s. futures are down .7%. ty x futures are under pressure as well. the topics gaining ground. we are also watching the chinese yuan holding at that 636 level. not to mention the chinese futures closing down. yo

you know, we had to carry lam speaking earlier and she was talking by the loosening of some restrictions primarily to do with the travel restrictions and also social distancing measures. does that help in the medium term? well, although there's an announcement that some of these measures are going to be relaxed, the degree of relaxation at the moment is actually not that much. for example, for the travel restrictions, there's still a 7 day quarantine for, for liveing travelers. i'm only maybe a 1000 people per day can arrive into hong kong because of the limitations on the rooms and airlines. we still have the pos possibility of 14 day route band, although they can in theory fly in. if there's 3 or more people on a flight, the test positive on arrival, that airline and that route will be banned for 14 days. so it's not a complete relaxation. and domestically as a timeline over the next 3 months to gradually relax one measure off to another. but that's conditional on case numbers staying low. and actually we already know that the case numbers will go up again when schools reopen. and when

carrie lam, to her credit or discredit, has steadfastly said she will not impose a lockdown.on where mainland officials, the top mainland official on these matters arrived in hong kong yesterday for talks. if that is what the mainland is pushing for, a lockdown, there might have to be a change of heart from carrie lam and others who say it will be impossible. as bernard chan, convene or of the executive council told me two weeks ago, impossible to impose a citywide lockdown on 7.5 million densely packed over nine days. you can see the cycle of logic and data that does not necessarily backup what will happen. we will have to see. between now and march 17 will be interesting here in hong kong. haslinda: lots of invocations for companies. some halting operations for 53 stores. stephen engle, thank you for that. still to come, we speak to mk global on market reactions to india's gdp release and what impact russia's invasion of ukraine might have on the country. keep it here with us. this is bloomberg. ♪ rishaad: you are back with bloomberg markets. india sinks lower than previous

the city's leader, carrie lam, has said that she's reviewing restrictions in hong kong after acknowledginges. what could that mean? well, they also had to make decisions around how much they want to continue to keep their economy closed and to keep restrictions on their population. they're in a very different situation in that they've had much higher mortality than china's seen, but they're also coming to the tail end of their omicron wave. so, that's meaning a decline in cases, and they can start to make decisions around whether or not they want to start bringing back those restrictions to allow for a more normal situation. that was the professor in the department of epidemiology and global health at boston university speaking to me earlier. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: the dancing duke — the royal tour of the caribbean begins. we report from belize. i'm so proud of both you. let there be no more wars or bloodshed between arabs and israelis. with great regret, the committee have decided that south africa be excluded from the 1970 competition. singing

we have been talking about the pivot we heard yesterday from carrie lam and you are saying too little, too late. i guess it comes to the point, we know there's been an exodus and people have had lands in place for months, it is unlikely they are going to pivot and then say i'm going to stay in hong kong. those people exiting, i guess they will be replaced. is hong kong going to remain a vibrant city in five years or so? frederick: let's be clear, hong kong is still a very unique city. it is a great city to bn. if we see all of those unique selling points of hong kong coming back to the city, i'm quite sure there will be a rebound. whether it will be in the same shape and form as we know it, i don't know. nobody knows. but certainly it will still be a massive financial center, it will still be a great place to do business in asia, and a key city to do business in mainland china, of that i am sure. we just have to see that the city and businesses in the city have been enduring very troubled times over more than two years. is not just the pandemic, it was social unrest and the pandemic.
