Around 300 people returned to Hong Kong from India on Thursday morning, on a flight chartered by the SAR government.
The Hong Kong residents, who had been stranded in Mumbai and surrounding areas due to the coronavirus pandemic, were taken to AsiaWorld-Expo for Covid-19 tests.
The group, including pregnant women, children and people with illnesses, were then to be taken to the Chun Yeung Estate in Fo Tan to be placed in quarantine for 14 days.
Last month, the SAR government also arranged for about 250 people to be brought home on a flight from New Delhi. They paid around HK$3,800 each for the trip.
The Security Bureau says in total, it has been in contact with some 4,800 Hong Kong residents stranded in India due to travel restrictions imposed over the pandemic.
