Customs clearance｜Chen Zhaoshi: Restaurants need to scan for peace of mind travel and the definition of a case definition of the fuse mechanism for mainland businessmen

The quarantine-free customs clearance between the mainland and Hong Kong is expected to be implemented by the end of this year. One of the key points of the consultation is the "circuit breaker mechanism."

The Secretary for Food and Health, Chen Zhaoshi, said in an interview with "Hong Kong 01" that it is necessary to discuss with the Mainland the establishment of a circuit breaker mechanism, including the definition of individual cases. The problem is that they do not want to bring additional risks to the Mainland.

In order to promote customs clearance between the two places, the government had earlier forcibly entered government premises to travel with peace of mind. The relevant measures will soon be extended to all restaurants in Hong Kong. Chen Zhaoshi said that the FEHD has discussed with the restaurants and initially thinks it is feasible, "but it will take less time. ."

Xu Shuchang, a government expert consultant and Chair Professor of Respiratory System at CUHK, said earlier that the fuse mechanism established for customs clearance between Hong Kong and the Mainland will follow Macau's current model. As long as there is a local case of unknown origin, customs clearance will be suspended.

In an interview, Chen Zhaoshi said that it is necessary to discuss with the Mainland the criteria for the circuit breaker mechanism, including the definition of cases, that is, those cases will be counted, and that type of cases will not be included. The two sides must have a consensus on communication.

She emphasized that "I don't want to continue to fuse," but she should stop if necessary. "There are really cases, and there are risks. All of them need to be fuse. Fuse only causes inconvenience."

Chen Zhaoshi said that in order to avoid triggering the fuse mechanism after customs clearance, Hong Kong needs to control the epidemic and achieve a continuous zero. Recently, the government has also tightened and strengthened various measures.

Asked whether all restaurants in Hong Kong need to use peace-of-mind travel before the end of this month, she said that the FEHD has discussed with the restaurants, "it initially finds it feasible, but it will take less time." If there is an updated approach, it will be announced as soon as possible.

Many citizens criticized the measures for harassing people. Chen Zhaoshi admitted that it would cause inconvenience in the initial stage of implementation. However, the more places that are used, the more effective the implementation of epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic work will be more effective, so he will continue Expansion, "It may be inconvenient at the beginning. Every time any epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic measures are taken, the initial testing is inconvenient, the injection is inconvenient, and it is inconvenient to travel with peace of mind. Wearing a mask is inconvenient at the beginning. When normalcy becomes an epidemic control At that time, everyone has to accept that it is part of life."
