He felt relieved immediately. Some interviewed passengers said that for the benefit of the whole society, they returned to Hong Kong Isolation will be arranged on the 14th.

The Director of Immigration, Zeng Guowei, said that all Hong Kong people who were able to disembark could have negative test results. He said that the initial inspection progress by the Japanese authorities was slow, and after the mediation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the test results accelerated, so twice as many passengers could temporarily return to Hong Kong, but the certificates could not be obtained in time. The second flight will be delayed until tonight (20th), so that more Hong Kong people with negative test results can return to Hong Kong.
