From 6:00 this morning (26th), Hong Kong will relax the entry quarantine arrangement to "0+3". Passengers only need to provide a negative quick test result before boarding. After arriving in Hong Kong, they can take a nucleic acid test without waiting for the result, and they can leave by means of transport. At the airport, the arrivals floor of Hong Kong Airport finally responded to the pictures of passengers coming and going.
The first flight that arrived in Hong Kong after the new measures came from Taipei. Passengers all said that the testing process went smoothly. Some even expressed that they miss Hong Kong very much.
After the implementation of "0+3", the airport pick-up hall was operating smoothly this morning. There are two arrival gates in the pick-up hall. Since the beginning of the epidemic, only Concourse A has been opened, and iron horses and fences have also been installed for delivery to Hong Kong. People go to quarantine hotels.
Concourse B is closed.
However, all arrivals came from Concourse B this morning. The fence of Concourse A was removed this morning, but no one came from Concourse A.
The first flight that benefited from "0+3" was HX 285. The airline adjusted the schedule and announced in advance that the departure was delayed by 4 hours and arrived in Hong Kong at 6:12 this morning.
Some passengers said that they had not returned to Hong Kong for more than two years due to the epidemic, and they were excited to arrive in Hong Kong today. Some passengers only bought air tickets yesterday (25th), and left that evening and arrived in Hong Kong this morning, laughing and saying that they miss wonton noodles.
On September 26, the first day of the "0+3" quarantine for Hong Kong's actual travel, the arrivals level of the airport saw passengers coming and going again.

There is Mr. Xu who arrived in Hong Kong from Boston. His original itinerary arrived in Hong Kong before the policy was implemented. He chose to come back today and start "0+3".
He felt happy and believed that "in the United States, we are used to freedom, and people like freedom", and it is best not to be isolated.
However, even "3+4" still came back because it had been a long wait.
I want to go back to Hong Kong to visit relatives and eat Hong Kong seafood.
Mr. Wang, who came back from Australia, booked air tickets and hotels as soon as he knew "0+3", and only came back for one day and one night, in order to get a Hong Kong resident identity card.
He was happy with "0+3" and thought he would not have time to come back.
Mr. and Mrs. Pang, who came back to Hong Kong from the United States, planned to come back a few months ago. Coincidentally, they started "0+3" today. They feel happy and moved and will come back to live in Hong Kong for a long time.
There are also returnees who are satisfied with the quarantine arrangement after disembarking at the airport. Ms. Ng pointed out that the whole process was completed in 5 minutes, and the manpower was sufficient.
There are also overseas students who choose to come back to Hong Kong for vacation now.
Matthew, who came back from Australia, is happy that "0+3" does not need to be isolated in a hotel. He also holds a "green code" and can go to designated places such as restaurants to dine in. He misses the food in Hong Kong, because the food in Australia is not very good.
He was also satisfied with the quarantine arrangement after getting off the plane, and there were clear instructions when he got off the plane, "Follow the line, compare the declaration form, and then go to the nose."
He felt that the relevant arrangements were clearly indicated.
After the government implements "0+3", passengers who arrive in Hong Kong do not need to go to the hotel for quarantine, as long as they get off the plane and undergo a nucleic acid test at the airport, and then they can take their own transportation home or go to the hotel for home quarantine for 3 days, during which they can go to work and go shopping. , but will be issued a "yellow code" and will not be allowed to enter designated places, including restaurants.
