The government has recently tightened a number of anti-epidemic measures to prepare for customs clearance with the mainland as soon as possible, including using peace of mind to travel to government premises.
The Director of the Food and Health Bureau, Chen Zhaoshi, said in a radio interview today (13th) that he personally believes that citizens should also be vaccinated when entering and exiting theaters and fitness rooms. He pointed out that while expanding the use of safe travel, it is more important for citizens to get vaccinated.
Recently, there have been cases of exempted quarantine pilots who were diagnosed after entering the community in Japan. Chen Zhaoshi was asked twice whether the confirmed cases would affect the progress of customs clearance between Hong Kong and the Mainland. She said that it would be necessary for the Mainland to inspect the situation in Hong Kong and conduct interviews. There is a timetable for customs clearance, and it is hoped that mainland experts can arrive in Hong Kong as soon as possible.
Chen Zhaoshi stated in the "Saturday Accountability" of Radio Hong Kong that the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department has been discussing the mandatory use of safe travel with the catering industry. "Generally, it will be implemented when everyone is ready."
Yuan Guoyong, a government expert consultant and chair professor of the Department of Microbiology at the University of Hong Kong, also recently suggested that a vaccine passport is required to enter and leave designated premises. Chen Zhaoshi said, "I feel that I should be vaccinated for the show." The injection is required. As for the restaurants that require Category C and Category D employees to be vaccinated, customers of Category D restaurants must also have 3 points and 2 people to complete the vaccinations.
She said that encouraging vaccination should be done as much as possible. On the one hand, the government has expanded the application of peace of mind travel and already has some tracking functions, but vaccination is more important.

Asked about the progress of customs clearance, Chen Zhaoshi said that the earlier meeting with the Mainland had initially discussed the health code and the breaking mechanism, and the Hong Kong side had also submitted a report after the meeting and hoped that the meeting could be arranged as soon as possible.
She said that the mainland wanted to visit Hong Kong for inspections and interviews earlier. "I hope this will happen as soon as possible." Depending on the situation, there will be a timetable for customs clearance.
She said that the Innovation and Technology Bureau has conducted research on the health code and has referred to Macau's practices, saying that there will be a transcoding function when traveling to the mainland with peace of mind.
In the program, Chen Zhaoshi was asked twice about the confirmed cases near the port of Japan, and there was a greater chance that they would have been introduced into the community and would affect the progress of customs clearance. She did not respond positively, only that the Transportation and Housing Bureau had immediately discussed with the airlines and raised them. Solution processing means that the airline also indicated that it will strengthen the closed-loop management of its employees in other places.
