The fifth wave of the new coronavirus in Hong Kong continues to ease. Yesterday (1st) May Day, the Department of Health announced 300 new confirmed cases, the least one day of reported cases since February 5th, and the number of reported fatalities also decreased to 5 people.
In addition, non-Hong Kong residents who have completed vaccinations are allowed to enter the country from yesterday, and the Department of Health expects that the number of imported cases will inevitably rise; the quarantine arrangements for crew members have also begun to relax, and some scholars believe that the circuit breaker mechanism can be lifted.

Consumer Coupon｜PayMe and BoC Pay?
Experts predict that consumer coupons will be deducted in the form of electronic cash coupons | The second summer vacation distribution cannot be used for overseas scholars, and the effect of boosting the economy is limited
[08:00] The government announced yesterday (1st) that two new operators will distribute the next 5,000 yuan consumer coupons, namely PayMe of HSBC and BoC Pay of BOCHK. However, new registration procedures must be completed for transfers. The public may find it troublesome to keep the original platform.
The following will analyze factors such as how the two operators will distribute consumer coupons, and the number of merchants they will cover in the future, so that readers can consider whether a “transfer” is necessary.
[08:00] The first round of 5,000 yuan of electronic consumer coupons was distributed on April 7, and the second round of 5,000 yuan will be distributed during the summer vacation.
If the ban on outbound travel is lifted at that time, quarantine will not be required when returning to Hong Kong. The public should note that the vouchers cannot be used for outbound travel, but can be used for local travel.
Some scholars have analyzed that consumer vouchers have a limited effect on boosting the economy. They bluntly said that "it's unsustainable after buying one round", emphasizing that whether the economy improves or not depends on the government's attitude towards the epidemic, "If you send money on one hand, but the other side is heavy. It's like digging your own grave."
