Lin Wenjian: Critical Point of the Fifth Wave of Outbreak in Hong Kong
The Director of Health Lin Wenjian emphasized that the first case of community infection of Omicron occurred in Hong Kong after the end of the fourth wave of the epidemic. He described Hong Kong as "a tipping point where the fifth wave of epidemic may occur" and hoped that Hong Kong people would work together to prevent the spread of the epidemic in the community. , Including avoiding travel, especially young children who have not been vaccinated against the new crown should not travel abroad.
Seeing that Hong Kong may already be at a critical point where the fifth wave of epidemics may occur, a single spark can start a prairie fire and extinguish the first fire. In addition to prevention and control work, it must also rely on the public to do a good job in epidemic prevention.
In addition to injections, people know that they need to be quarantined during the New Year or Lunar New Year, but they may all travel abroad.
People are urged to avoid unnecessary travels. Even if they want to travel, they should wear masks and take good personal hygiene.

Will it affect customs clearance?
Chen Zhaoshi: We must deal with the epidemic first
The Hong Kong government is actively preparing to reproduce community transmission during customs clearance. It was asked whether the occurrence of a case at the "critical moment" will affect the customs clearance arrangement, or whether it will be delayed until after the Lunar New Year before customs clearance can be expected?
Chen Zhaoshi reiterated that many policy bureaus of the Hong Kong government are still preparing for customs clearance, but at present "we must first deal with the latest development of the epidemic" and will continue to adopt the "highest standard" external defense import and internal defense rebound prevention and control strategy to achieve "Dynamic clearing", "to extinguish the fire and create favorable conditions for customs clearance."
