The mainland has shortened the quarantine time for inbound people from the "14+7" plan, that is, 14 days of centralized isolation medical observation and 7 days of home health monitoring, to 7 days of centralized isolation medical observation and 3 days of home health monitoring.
Wong Kwok, a member of the Legislative Council of the Federation of Trade Unions, said that the mainland's policy of shortening the quarantine period is welcomed. The Federation of Trade Unions has received more than 500 inquiries or requests for help, reflecting the strong demand from Hong Kong people for customs clearance.
He hopes that the mainland authorities will take supporting measures to increase the number of entry places and the supply of quarantine hotels.
Leung Hee, a member of the Legislative Council of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong, proposed to set up a "post station in Hong Kong" for Hong Kong people who wish to go to the mainland to "reverse isolation" in Hong Kong. From experience, when the oral drug developed in the mainland is launched in September, it will be an opportunity to further shorten the quarantine period in the mainland.

Liang Xi: Lu Chongmao did not explicitly say whether it is administratively feasible
Huang Guo said that there are currently 20,000 people waiting for the Shenzhen quarantine hotel, and even if the mainland authorities double the number of places, it will not be enough to meet the demand.
He suggested arranging for Hong Kong people who want to go to the mainland to be quarantined in the community quarantine facility in the Hong Kong shelter, and then sent to the mainland border "point-to-point" to solve the problem of insufficient isolation facilities.
Liang Xi pointed out that there are a total of 10,000 rooms in Kai Tak and Penny's Bay shelter community isolation facilities, all of which have independent toilets, which can be used for "reverse isolation" for Hong Kong people. However, it is also necessary to consider the closed-loop management of staff and whether the mainland will accept it. When the party met with Lu Chongmao, the incoming director of the medical and health bureau, the other party did not indicate whether it was administratively feasible.
