The government has recently tightened anti-epidemic measures, including abolishing multiple groups of exempt quarantine arrangements, and compulsory use of "safe travel" on government premises to achieve customs clearance with the mainland as soon as possible.
The Secretary for Food and Health, Chen Zhaoshi, said frankly at a press conference today (3rd) that Hong Kong has reached the goal of "zeroing out", but under the principle of "preventing foreign imports and preventing internal rebounds", the epidemic prevention measures will be tightened and adjusted. Only in order to minimize the risk of an outbreak of the epidemic, in order to facilitate customs clearance with the Mainland in the future.
As for the rumor that the government intends to require Class B restaurants to also compulsorily use Anxin to travel, Chen Zhaoshi responded by saying that he would understand the relevant restaurants to see if it would be difficult to compulsorily use Anxin to travel.

The Secretary for Food and Health, Chen Zhaoshi, said that he understands that the public has doubts about the government’s recent tightening of epidemic prevention measures, explaining that the government has chosen to zero in its epidemic prevention measures, and that Hong Kong has had no local cases for many days and has reached the target. The goal is to maintain clearing. "When we want to maintain clearing, we have different measures, that is, our "external defense against input, internal defense against rebound". In fact, all of these measures need to be collected. Tight, or adjust all the way, so that we can maintain."
Chen Zhaoshi pointed out that many overseas regions have chosen to coexist with the virus, causing the death rate and morbidity to soar. He described the current foreign epidemic risk is very high. There are single-digit imported confirmed cases in Hong Kong every day, although the authorities can find them at the airport and during the quarantine period. In the case, the transmission chain was cut off, but she said, "There are still risks. If we want to maintain the clearing, we will need to adjust measures in all aspects so that the risks can be controlled and buried to the minimum."

Legislative Council Member Tian Beichen disclosed earlier that he was informed that the government intends to extend the mandatory use of safe travel to all Category B restaurants.
Chen Zhaoshi responded by saying that he would learn from Category B restaurants, "If you want to use "Travel with peace of mind", you will not face the problem of bleating."
In her opening speech today, she also mentioned that the global epidemic is still reciprocating. The cumulative number of confirmed cases worldwide has exceeded 240 million, and the cumulative death toll has reached 4.9 million. Some countries that coexist with the virus have seen the number of confirmed cases and deaths continue to rise, requiring a substantial increase. Tighten its social distancing measures.
While the mutant virus is raging around the world, no community infections have occurred in Hong Kong. She described it as proving that Hong Kong has achieved results in active zero-clearing, external anti-import, and internal anti-proliferation measures, allowing Hong Kong to adopt relatively loose social distancing measures. Activities have generally returned to normal, describing the situation as "not easy to come by." The society needs to maintain a high degree of vigilance and take defensive measures to create conditions for customs clearance with the mainland and cross-border travel in the future.

Regarding the low vaccination rate of local elderly, she emphasized that the mortality rate of the elderly after infection is extremely high. For example, in Singapore from May to September, the mortality rate of infected elderly people who are 80 years old or above without injections is as high as 18%. Patients who have received injections , The mortality rate dropped significantly to 2%. In other words, the mortality rate between injections and no injections was 10 times different.
She said that data from other countries also showed that vaccination has a "very critical effect" on the risk of death for the elderly after infection.
She described the elderly as a very vulnerable group in this epidemic, and the authorities have the responsibility to protect them. She emphasized that Kexing and Fubitai are very effective in preventing severe illness and death, and can also provide effective protection for the elderly. However, the elderly in Hong Kong are over 80 years old. The vaccination rate is only 15%. “In other words, 85% of the elderly are in a high-risk state, which is a very dangerous signal.” He emphasized that the authorities will continue to take all feasible measures to encourage and facilitate the elderly’s injections. It also refers to the children of the elderly. We must also consider the health of our parents and encourage them to get injections as soon as possible.
