The Japanese authorities announced yesterday that they will “switch off” from June 10 to resume receiving overseas tourists, but only with tour groups.

Hong Kong has been included in Japan's "Blue List", that is, passengers departing from Hong Kong do not need to show proof of vaccination, and do not need to be tested and quarantined after entering Japan.


The new arrangement has made many people want to "return to the countryside" in Hong Kong, but Hong Kong still stipulates that when entering the country, they must be quarantined in hotels for at least seven days.

Au Ka-wing, chief physician of the Infectious Diseases Division of the Centre for Health Protection of the Department of Health, said today (27th) that strict measures should still be maintained for overseas arrivals to prevent other new variants of the virus from entering Hong Kong.

Japan announced yesterday that it was "switching off" to the outside world, and Hong Kong was included in the "blue list", that is, Hong Kong people visiting Japan do not need a vaccine certificate, and they do not need to be tested and quarantined in Japan.

However, in view of the recent changes in the epidemic situation in Hong Kong, in addition to the fifth wave of the BA.2.2 virus strain, a new strain of BA.2.12.1, which was brought in by couples arriving in Hong Kong from the United States, is spreading in the community. Infection cases have been reported in many districts around Hong Kong Island.

A reporter asked about Japan's relaxation of measures at a press conference on the epidemic, including whether the authorities would allow home quarantine.

Ou Jiarong responded that for overseas returnees to Hong Kong, strict foreign import prevention measures are still required. "We are concerned about whether there are new variants entering Hong Kong from overseas, so we must be very strict. Temporary risk assessment. Those arriving in Hong Kong must be quarantined in hotels for 7 days and tested to prevent them from entering Hong Kong. New variants flow in."
