One or two visits per patient may be arranged per week, with one registered visitor for each one-hour visit.
In addition, the Asia-World-Expo treatment facility will be in operation until tomorrow (3rd), and will be turned into a standby state, and Asia-Expo patients will be admitted to the Hong Kong Infection Center on North Lantau Island for continued treatment.
Another part of the medical staff returned to work in the clustered hospitals, while some of the medical staff will continue to stay in Asia Pacific and Peking University to prepare for the arrival of the sixth wave.
Visitors must complete 2 vaccinations and have a negative certificate
Li Liye, Chief Administrative Manager (Integrated Clinical Services) of the Hospital Authority, said that in view of the recent stable response to the epidemic, 26 public hospitals will resume special visiting arrangements for non-emergency wards and departments from May 6.
Each patient can arrange one or two visits a week. Each time, a registered visitor will conduct a one-hour visit. During this period, visitors cannot be replaced.
The ward staff will contact family members to explain the visit arrangement, and family members do not need to call to make an appointment.

Waivers are available for visits within 3 months of recovery
If the recovering patient visits within 3 months after recovery, the above vaccination and testing arrangements can be waived, but proof of infection and recovery is required.
Li emphasized that visitors must strictly abide by infection control measures, and pointed out that he understands the public's demands for inpatient visits, and will expand services to more hospitals in the future according to the development of the epidemic.

In addition, as the manpower of the Hospital Authority gradually returns to normal, the treatment facility at Asia-World-Expo will be in a standby state until tomorrow, and patients in Ade will be admitted to the Hong Kong Infection Center on North Lantau Island for continued treatment.
Li Liye pointed out that some medical staff will return to work in cluster hospitals, while some medical staff will continue to stay in Asia Pacific and North Lantau Hong Kong Infection Center to prepare for the arrival of the sixth wave.
Li Liye emphasized that the authorities are actively preparing to deal with the sixth wave and be careful to prevent any further infection cases.
Li emphasized that the authorities also attach great importance to the mobility of people's mobile phones. Starting from the third wave of the epidemic, different hospitals and networks have formulated deployment schedules, hoping to deploy personnel to community facilities within 48 hours.
The authorities have also adopted a collaborative model. In addition to this collaboration with mainland healthcare providers, there have also been collaborations between Chinese and Western medicine and public and private institutions in the past. Looking ahead, there will be more flexibility in the future, and I believe that manpower will be more flexible.
