The Chief Executive, Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, met the media before attending the executive meeting on Tuesday (18th) and said that the vaccine bubble that was originally scheduled to be implemented on the 24th of next month may be used as the basis for the reopening of the evening market on the fourth (4th) of the new year, disguised as all unvaccinated vaccines. of citizens may not be able to enter restaurants and other premises for some time to come.
According to government figures, about 20,000 people are being vaccinated every day. According to the current trend, the vaccination rate is expected to reach 80% or even 90% by February 24. The government believes that the relevant measures will effectively increase the vaccination rate in the end. To promote the stage of herd immunity in Hong Kong society.
The vaccine bubble may be implemented ahead of schedule, which inevitably makes some citizens or people in the catering industry think that government policies are changing rapidly.
After all, the government revealed earlier that the vaccine bubble will be implemented on February 24, but these days have become the beginning of next month, which has affected some citizens' original plans to get vaccinated.
However, it has been two years since the outbreak of the epidemic, and implementing relevant arrangements as soon as possible is the greatest protection against the epidemic for the society.

It's better to arrive early than to look through the autumn waters
What's more, the development of the epidemic has caused many people to be at a loss, and it is now possible to expect the implementation time of the policy to at least predict that the dark days will eventually pass.
Frankly speaking, as early as the implementation of the vaccination program, it was expected that the government would implement the vaccine bubble. Whether it was the recently announced ban on dine-in in the evening market, the suspension of the New Year’s Eve and large-scale events, some voices questioned why it was not implemented as soon as possible.
Even the early spring leap month itself is a good day for many talented and beauties to "bury the skylight". The government's ban on dine-in meals earlier has caused many prospective couples to frequently respond and deal with it. It is urgent to change the wedding dinner into a luncheon. Hold, kill Yaxing.
These restrictions on epidemic prevention have the greatest impact on many catering industry, performers and venues, and flower farmers who have lost their budget due to the suspension of the flower market. The livelihood of many grassroots practitioners who "stop their hands and stop their mouths" will inevitably be affected.
Lin Zheng stated that he would implement the implementation when the dine-in market resumes on the fourth night of the lunar new year, which finally ended the long wait.
For many restaurant owners, the news itself is "good news".
After all, dine-in dinners are often the benefit of restaurants, and the early implementation of relevant policies at least eliminates the nightmare of banning the evening market, and better preparations can be made for both the procurement of ingredients and the deployment of staff.
However, many flower farmers may not be able to benefit from the early bubble measures, and their losses are naturally large.
If the government can implement the implementation before the New Year's Eve, the New Year's Eve market may be held as scheduled.

Remember that vaccine bubble measures are not designed to punish
In fact, the vaccination program has been implemented for more than a year. It is normal for society to have doubts about vaccines in the early stage. However, after more than 4.72 million people have been vaccinated, they should see the facts clearly, and there is no need to worry about its side effects and effects.
After all, vaccination has achieved effective effects in many countries, and even successfully established an anti-epidemic barrier to resist the impact of the virus on people.
Although the full implementation of the vaccine bubble may cause a lot of inconvenience to the lives of some people who still have doubts, it is worth noting that the purpose of the measures is not to punish the public, and it should not discriminate.
On the other hand, the vaccine bubble hopes to provide a more secure public health environment and prevent some people from contracting the virus because they have not been vaccinated. Today's early implementation is always to protect the health of the people and allow Hong Kong's economic activities to return to normal.
And we all hope that the implementation of the vaccine bubble is only temporary, and in the end it is still the end of the epidemic as soon as possible.
Why should we get vaccinated? Understand that we are on the same boat to effectively fight the epidemic and prevent it from being perfunctory. Otherwise, all Hong Kong will lose to government employees. The "vaccine bubble" can serve as an example for the society. Open community vaccination centers to meet citizens' needs for vaccines
