Travel with peace of mind｜He Boliang: "Paper Filler" is not a good alternative arrangement, hope to use Octopus

He Boliang, director of the Infection and Infectious Diseases Center of the University of Hong Kong, said on a commercial channel program this morning that he believed that the measures were in the right direction.
