Hong Kong further relaxes a number of epidemic prevention measures, including cancellation of all inbound compulsory nucleic acid testing.However, people who go to Hong Kong must conduct fast antigen tests within 24 hours before the flight scheduled for flights, or test nucleic acid testing within 48 hours, and obtain negative results.After the test results are obtained, the test results should be saved for 90 days with the test results or test reports to prepare official inspection.
Following the recent announcement of Customs Customs on January 8th, Hong Kong has further relaxed a number of epidemic prevention measures from Thursday (December 29), including the cancellation of all entry mandatory nucleic acid testing.Hong Kong Chief Executive Li Jiachao said that he hopes to implement Lugang to resume customs clearance by January 15 next year.
Li Jiachao explained at a press conference held on Wednesday that a number of epidemic prevention measures were canceled, because the vaccination rate in Hong Kong was quite high, and more than 2.5 million people confirmed, and the society had established a wide and overall epidemic prevention barrier.
The vaccination rate of three -dose vaccine in Hong Kong is 83%, and 2.5 million people are about one -third of Hong Kong.He said: "We continued to allow the most social and economic activities, and also stabilized the epidemic and managed according to risks. I think the deployment of our past six months is steadily moving forward and stable, which is successful."
Li Jiachao said that the official future epidemic prevention policy will focus on preventing severe diseases, preventing death and protecting high -risk groups, including "one old and one child", the elderly and the disabled home.Hong Kong recovered.
As for the issue of Lu and Hong Kong, which is concerned about the outside world, Li Jiachao said that he hopes to reach a consensus with the mainland units before mid -January next year, and then submit the plan to the central government for approval and implementation. The goal is to implement the customs clearance before January 15 next year.
Mask order and diagnostic person must beolate two epidemic prevention measures to continue to maintain
Other epidemic prevention measures relaxed by the Hong Kong government include the cancellation order and no longer define the close contact, but they will send a health proposal to such people through the confirmation; cancel the vaccine pass;1.5 meters spacing, upper limit of the number of people per table.
However, the masks and diagnostics must be separated from these two measures.
All those who go to Hong Kong, whether they come from the mainland, Macau, Taiwan or overseas regions, must be a fast antigen test within 24 hours before the flight schedules or scheduled to arrive in Hong Kong.Test that you can come to Hong Kong after obtaining negative results.
The Hong Kong Government reminds that relevant persons should save 90 days after the test results are obtained to save the test results or test reports for 90 days to prepare official checks.Non -Hong Kong residents must complete the vaccination of vaccinations to board from overseas regions to go to Hong Kong, which remains unchanged temporarily.
Hong Kong society is generally welcome to cancel a number of epidemic prevention measures.Huang Jiahe, president of the Catering Union Association, said that after the cancellation of the vaccine permit, about 10%of the citizens who have not completed the vaccination can enter the restaurant, and the industry's business will immediately increase by 5%to 10%.He believes that Hong Kong will not go back. The prospects of the catering industry will become more and more clear. I hope that all walks of life will recover quickly next year.
Shi Lide, the president of the Hong Kong Manufacturers' Association, believes that retail, tourism and other industries will recover the fastest under new measures.However, he emphasized that even if the official cancellation of all epidemic prevention measures cannot expect society to return to the level before the epidemic, it is estimated that it will take one to two years to truly recover.
Infection and deaths rebound several times, a number of specialist doctors call for official reinforcements
However, Liang Zichao, a specialist of Hong Kong respiratory system, said in an interview with Lianhe Morning Post that it is not the most appropriate time to cancel a number of epidemic prevention measures, because the Hong Kong epidemic has shown signs of rapid rebound recently.Monthly has rebounded several times compared to October.But he understands that the official may have other considerations, including to restore economic development.
After Liang Zichao is expected to further relax the restrictions on epidemic prevention, the number of infections in Hong Kong will rise further.He suggested that the number of medical staff increased the number of medical staff and encouraged citizens to continue vaccination.
Official future epidemic prevention policies will focus on prevention of severe diseases, prevent death and protect high -risk groups, including "one old and one child", the elderly and the disabled home.Hong Kong recovered.
