Hong Kong's new crown virus epidemic has eased, but strict "foreign import" entry restrictions are still implemented. According to the current aviation circuit breaker mechanism, the circuit breaker mechanism will be triggered after 3 people on the same flight arrive in Hong Kong. Since January 1, 11 flights have been fined and grounded.
The aviation industry and the business community continue to ask the government to relax restrictions. It is reported that the government has accepted the industry's request and the circuit breaker mechanism has been raised until 5 people on the same plane have been diagnosed.

"Hong Kong 01" learned that the government will announce the relaxation of the circuit breaker mechanism in a short period of time. From the current 3 people diagnosed on the same passenger plane, they will be required to be banned from flying for 7 days.
The South China Morning Post also reported this morning.
The government's current "circuit breaker mechanism" requires that, for example, there are 3 passengers on an arriving passenger aircraft who are tested positive after arriving in Hong Kong, or one passenger who has been tested positive on arrival and a passenger who fails to meet the registration requirements specified under Chapter 599H. If the flight conditions are met, the airline will be banned from flying for 7 days.
The relevant requirements have been repeatedly requested by the aviation industry and the business community to relax. When the chief executive candidate Li Jiachao met with the election committees of various sectors, many people pointed out the problem of the flight circuit breaker mechanism.
At present, 11 flights have been banned from flying, including Vancouver, Sydney, Bangkok and so on.
