The government implemented the red and yellow code measures for safe travel from yesterday (9th), and will shorten the hotel quarantine period to "3+4" from this Friday (12th).
Zhuang Zixiong, executive vice-chairman of the Federation of Hong Kong Industries, said in a radio program today (10th) that the new quarantine policy has "greatly helped" Hong Kong's corporate talents to travel overseas and overseas professionals to come to Hong Kong, and it is expected to attract six to seven Become a business professional to come to Hong Kong.
However, the current yellow code restricts business travelers arriving in Hong Kong from entering exhibition venues such as exhibitions and exhibitions. He suggested that those who enter the exhibition venues should take epidemic prevention measures. He believes that the risk of infection is not large, and he hopes the government can "relax".
He also suggested that under the premise that the epidemic situation is stable and the medical system can cope with it, the quarantine measures can be further relaxed, from "3+4" to "0+7" or "0+4", that is, hotel quarantine is exempted.

Zhuang Zixiong said on the radio station "Millennium Times" today that the implementation of "3+4" is the most important step in post-epidemic recovery, and has played a major role in the deployment of manpower by companies for business trips and the arrival of international professionals in Hong Kong.
Although "3+4" restricts business travelers from entering restaurants, it is believed that business travelers are always not tourists, which is acceptable.

However, he believes that if business travelers cannot enter exhibition venues such as Asia Expo and exhibitions with a yellow code during the "3+4" period, it will cause "a big obstacle".
Many Hong Kong or mainland manufacturers rely on large-scale exhibitions such as the Electronics Fair to "take orders". However, in the past two years due to the epidemic, many large-scale international exhibitions have been cancelled. Even the exhibitions held locally are small in scale, which has a great impact on Hong Kong's economy.
He suggested that the government should wear masks and take epidemic prevention measures if they enter the exhibition venue.
He also pointed out that the government may relax the quarantine measures again. "3+4" can be tried out for one to two months. If the epidemic situation is stable and the medical system is relatively stable, it may consider relaxing to "0+7" or "0+4".
The customs clearance of the two places is particularly important. It is hoped that the "7+3" measures in the mainland can be relaxed and the Hong Kong red and yellow codes will be accepted to enter the mainland as a quarantine measure.
The government announced that the quarantine arrangement for people arriving in Hong Kong from overseas and Taiwan will be changed from 7-day hotel quarantine to 3-day hotel quarantine and 4-day home medical monitoring.
