Leung Pak-yin, the former chief executive of the Hospital Authority, posted on social media yesterday (30th), saying that currently confirmed cases in Hong Kong can choose to be isolated at home if their living conditions permit, but undiagnosed overseas returnees need to be quarantined in hotels for 7 days. It is neither logically plausible nor supported by scientific justification.
He believes that there is a need to relax hotel quarantine for Hong Kong residents returning from overseas.
Customs clearance in the Mainland: advocating "3+4" quarantine
Leung Pak-yin pointed out that if the family environment of overseas returnees permits, and they are given all the injections, and there are no high-risk people at home, they should be given home quarantine, so as to release more quarantine hotels for foreigners to use, increase the flow of people, facilitate citizens, and stimulate the economy.
As for customs clearance with China, Liang Boxian pointed out that he agrees with the proposal of closed-loop point-to-point management.
He pointed out that if all cities in the Greater Bay Area can be opened up, closed-loop management is implemented, and vaccine passes, mixed nucleic acid and rapid testing are used as basic customs clearance requirements, and all hotel quarantines do not need to be concentrated in Shenzhen. "Three days in Hong Kong and four days in cities in the Greater Bay Area , use the direct bus or high-speed rail to pass the customs, on the one hand, more quarantine hotels can be used, and more people returning to the mainland will be released, and I believe that the risk of transmission will not increase. I hope the suggestion can be considered and deepened!”
