The government plans to introduce a "red and yellow code" system and shorten the number of days of hotel quarantine for overseas arrivals. It is understood that the government originally planned to hold a meeting with the Executive Council briefing and government expert advisors today (5th), and hold a press conference in the afternoon to announce it Details, but eventually all cancelled.
It is reported that the plan will be announced as soon as next Monday (8th).
The person in the government said that he understands that the society is eagerly looking forward to the relaxation of entry and quarantine measures, and hopes to announce it as soon as possible.
The director of the Medical and Health Bureau, Lu Chongmao, said recently that the "red and yellow code" system will be implemented in two phases. The first phase of the yellow code only includes hotel quarantine persons. The goal is to allow the number of days of hotel quarantine to be appropriately shortened. High-risk activities or entering and exiting restaurants and other premises except for masks are not allowed. After citizens adapt, the yellow code will be expanded to cover close contacts at home and other people.
As for the red code, it will be issued at the same time as the government sends out the acid test results to the confirmed patients to identify patients who have entered the community and are quarantined at home.
As to whether the plan to shorten the hotel quarantine days is "5+2" or "4+3", that is, the number of days for hotel quarantine plus home surveillance, the government has yet to make a final decision.
Lu Chongmao: The "red and yellow code" has entered the testing phase and gradually expanded to close contacts. Lin Zhexuan pointed out that the "red and yellow code" is difficult to completely replace the hotel quarantine with home quarantine. exclusion
