The new crown pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong has not stopped. 4 new cases were confirmed on Sunday (16th), of which three were imported cases, and one was related to a local case and was the baby of a Filipino female nurse's brother and girlfriend who had been diagnosed earlier.

In addition, an employee of BGI has confirmed the diagnosis earlier, and the virus is ranked as the virus strain that was circulating in Wuhan a year ago, not the virus strain currently circulating.

The Hong Kong government has tightened its quarantine arrangements starting early on Monday (17th). People arriving in Hong Kong from Taiwan must be quarantined at designated hotels for 21 days during which 4 tests are required. It is the Hong Kong government that has tightened the quarantine arrangements for people arriving from Taiwan for two consecutive days.

Tourism Councillor Yao Sirong stated in the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millennium" today (17) that the epidemic in Singapore has clearly rebounded and is not under control.

[09:08] The government announced that starting today (17th) the quarantine and testing requirements for people arriving in Hong Kong from Taiwan will be further tightened. All Hong Kong residents who have stayed in Taiwan on the day of boarding or 14 days before must have a negative test certificate. Those who have not completed the vaccination must be quarantined at the designated quarantine hotel for 21 days, and those who have completed the vaccination must be quarantined at the designated hotel for 14 days. Non-Hong Kong residents from Taiwan will not be allowed to enter.



Respiratory specialist Liang Zichao said on the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millenniums" that the outbreak in Taiwan has caused local cases to rise rapidly. In addition, Taiwan’s previous epidemic control has been well controlled, and the public’s awareness of epidemic prevention is relatively low, and herd immunity is also high. Not high, I think it is necessary to pay attention to it, and agree that the 21-day quarantine should be imposed on people arriving from Taiwan regardless of whether they have been vaccinated.
