Hong Kong people finally have a chance to revisit Japan!
Japan has recently gradually opened up the entry of tourists. It is reported that the Japanese government is considering adding Hong Kong to the "blue list", and Hong Kong people may be exempted from testing and quarantine.
At present, one of the conditions for entry without quarantine is to have received three doses of approved vaccines. How many people in Hong Kong are currently eligible for quarantine-free travel?
According to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, from June 1, the local area will be divided into three groups: red, yellow and blue. Passengers from the blue-listed areas can be exempted from testing or quarantine regardless of whether they have taken all three shots; Passengers from yellow-listed areas can be exempted from testing or quarantine as long as they have received three doses of the designated vaccine.
At present, Japan's approved vaccines include Fubitai but not Sinovac.
According to the South China Morning Post, citing sources, Japan is considering adding Hong Kong to its "blue list".
In addition, Japan recently announced that it will allow tourists from the United States, Australia, Thailand and Singapore to enter the country with a tour group. The first batch of opening locations does not include Hong Kong.
At present, Japan still stipulates that if visitors come from non-designated epidemic areas and have received three doses of the designated vaccine, they can enter the country without quarantine if they arrive at the local airport for testing, otherwise they will need to be quarantined for up to 7 days.
As of May 12, more than 3.38 million people in Hong Kong have received all three doses of the vaccine, accounting for half of the population over the age of 11 in Hong Kong.
Assuming that Japan maintains the existing quarantine-free vaccination requirements after the switch, how many people in Hong Kong are eligible?
As of May 12, about 2.29 million people in Hong Kong have been vaccinated with the third dose of Forbidet, accounting for about 32% of the population over the age of 11. Among them, the proportion of 12 to 39-year-olds who received the third dose of Forbidis is higher.
However, since some people may choose ditch acupuncture, the actual number will be less than this number.
It should also be noted that at present, Hong Kong people who leave the country and return to Hong Kong are still subject to quarantine, and they are quarantined in quarantine hotels for 7 days.
