A member of the Legislative Council of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong, Zheng Yongshun, said during an interview with the Hong Kong and Taiwan Program that he understands that passengers need to be issued a quarantine certificate by the Japanese authorities in order to disembark, but only about half of Hong Kong people, that is, about 200 people can disembark. He hoped that those people who had disembarked could return to Hong Kong tonight by charter flight. He estimated that passengers may have to disembark and board the charter plane in the early morning of tomorrow, and the first charter flight may not arrive in Hong Kong until tomorrow morning.
Zheng Yongshun estimates that if Hong Kong people on board choose not to take charter flights, they will eventually or temporarily not be allowed to disembark. According to the cases he has contacted, 6 to 8 hospitals have been diagnosed with Hong Kong people. Most of them are in stable condition without special medication.
