The government eased entry quarantine restrictions to "0+3" from yesterday (26th), and the catering industry issued a joint statement a few days ago, expressing concern that "0+3" will make Hong Kong people travel and spend money, exacerbating the tide of closings and layoffs.
Xu Wenwei, chairman of the Rice Miao Diet Professional Association, said in a radio program today (27th) that it is expected that "0+3" and the reduction of the vaccine pass to children over 5 years old will hit the business of the catering industry, and the industry is studying the introduction of takeaways for relevant groups. Offers attract customers.
He urged the government to catch up with the international community as soon as possible and lift unnecessary restrictions on epidemic prevention, including relaxing the quarantine measures for passengers to "0+0", that is, cancelling even the three-day medical surveillance period. Anti-epidemic measures such as body temperature should also be bid farewell to, so that society can return to normal as soon as possible.

The effect of "safe travel" gradually diminishes, and if it is relaxed to "0+0", it should be canceled simultaneously
Xu Wenwei said on the commercial TV program that if the government relaxes the quarantine measures for passengers to "0+0", it should simultaneously cancel the measures of "safe travel" and temperature measurement in restaurants. He believes that the measures established two or three years ago should be "Travel with peace of mind" is not for epidemic prevention, but to facilitate the CHP to track confirmed cases or large outbreak groups. However, with more than 1,000 new confirmed cases every day, the effect of traveling with ease has gradually diminished: "It may go to 0+0 Time has no effect."
Some people have no symptoms and it is not necessary to take their temperature
As for temperature measurement, he believes that not all infected patients will have a fever immediately after infection, and some people have no symptoms after being recruited. At the same time, I think our anti-epidemic measures should be revised or changed at this moment, and it is impossible to restore the anti-epidemic measures from three years ago and manage them at this moment.”
I think that our epidemic prevention measures must be revised or changed at this moment, and we cannot return to the epidemic prevention measures three years ago to manage at this moment.

However, he believes that the "vaccine passport" should be used persistently: "After all, vaccines are of great help in preventing this epidemic, and at the same time reducing the number of casualties, if there is no vaccine passport, we can't see whether the diners have any injections, or If there are three injections, this will cause the epidemic to rebound, and we can't lie down at work and maintain the hygiene of Hong Kong society."
"Vaccine Pass" 9.30 to 5-year-old children or the whole family to give up eating out
However, the "vaccine passport" will be reduced to 5-year-old children at the end of this month. Xu Wenwei believes that in the first half of the year, there may be many children who have not received all injections or have not received injections. Parents may also want to observe other children's injections first. If you take your children for injections, the whole family may have given up eating out in order to accommodate their children without a "vaccine passport", especially breakfast before school and lunch after school.

Advocate relaxation to 10 people, one set for dine-in after the early morning
He also revealed that the industry has discussed launching takeaway discounts for children's vaccine passes and passengers' "0+3": "When children are vaccinated, they will think about the set menus, such as fast food, and the rest are easy to do takeaways, 0 +3 We may have leftover packages that can be brought to the hotel, but this is a good initial stage. I hope that in the end, it can be 0+0, reducing unnecessary epidemic prevention policies, making it more convenient for the public and good for doing business. Huh." He also hopes that the government will simultaneously relax other business restrictions, such as relaxing one set of 8 people to 10 people, canceling the maximum number of banquets, and business restrictions after 12 a.m.
Worry about the "Safe Travel" parent-child version that needs to be corrected after the chaotic launch
According to the news, the government will announce as soon as today that parents can store their children's vaccine passes in "safe travel". Xu Wenwei believes that every time the government updates epidemic prevention measures in restaurants or listed premises, there will be confusion. This time, the situation is even more complicated: "Children need to stay with their parents, maybe with their classmates or with relatives and friends, so what if Mi has to bury mommy and dad's mobile phone? When it comes to the ground, I will study it slowly, so I believe it will be solved.”
