China's Greater Bay Area (the "GBA"), encompassing
Hong Kong, much of Guangdong Province, and Macau represents a key
economic, production and service platform for Asia and the rest of
the world.
With a population of just under 70 million people and an
estimated GDP of USD1.5 trillion, the GBA is an economic powerhouse
of critical importance to many international businesses, be they
manufacturers or service providers, with commercial interests in
the region. However, with efforts being made by local Governments
and private companies to contain the spread of the 2019 novel
coronavirus "2019-nCoV" (now named "Covid-19"),
business owners have faced unprecedented challenges with regards to
a return-to-work of their workforce.
