The loopholes in the new crown pneumonia epidemic have reappeared.

The Centre for Health Protection of the Department of Health announced yesterday (23rd) that there were 4 new confirmed cases the day before, and a total of 5,285 cases have been confirmed so far.

One of the cases was a local case. The patient lived in Tai Wan South, Lamma Island. He was suspected of being infected by his family members who had returned to Hong Kong from Russia and was quarantined at home. It was once again exposed that the risk of imported cases was still blocked, and a new transmission explosion could be triggered at any time.

The government started yesterday (23) to relax social distancing measures, including allowing licensed travel agencies to organize local tour groups with a maximum of 30 people per group, increasing the number of people participating in weddings to a maximum of 50 people, and pool activities for team activities.

[11:16] According to news, there are about 6 new confirmed cases of new pneumonia in Hong Kong today, and a news conference on the epidemic will be held today.

Travel Bubble｜Yao Sirong: Agreement with Singapore to help less hope for customs clearance on the mainland in November

[09:50] The global epidemic of new crown pneumonia is so severe that immigration activities have almost stopped.

The Hong Kong government announced earlier that it had reached a principled agreement with Singapore to implement a bilateral "tourism bubble" to restore passenger traffic, without compulsory quarantine, and unlimited travel.

Yao Sirong, a member of the Legislative Council of the tourism industry, said today (24) on the commercial channel program "Politics and Economics Saturday" that reaching a "tourism bubble" agreement with Singapore is of great significance, but it is expected to be of little help to the industry.

He pointed out that this can be used to speed up customs clearance with the mainland, and hopes to resume customs clearance between the two places with a quota in November, and then further relax it depending on the situation.
