Hong Kong relaxes entry quarantine restrictions and implements "0+3" from today. The outside world is concerned about whether Taiwan will follow up. However, Luo Yijun, deputy head of the medical response team of Taiwan's Central Epidemic Command Center, said that Hong Kong's "0+3" is actually better than Taiwan's.


Hong Kong has relaxed entry quarantine restrictions and implemented "0+3" from today. The outside world is concerned about whether Taiwan will follow up. However, Luo Yijun, deputy head of the medical response team of Taiwan's Central Epidemic Command Center, said that Hong Kong's "0+3" is actually more than Taiwan's expected to be 9 On the 29th, the "0+7" will be stricter. At this stage, there is no plan to follow up with Hong Kong.


Taiwan is currently expected to open its borders in two stages. In the first stage, the first stage is to cancel the entry of visa-free countries, cancel the ban on tourism, and so on.

However, it remains to be determined whether the second phase will include Hong Kong tourists.


Hong Kong's entry quarantine has been relaxed to "0+3" from September 26. After arriving in Hong Kong, there is no need to isolate in hotels, and only 3 days of home medical monitoring is required, and you can go out during this period.

Taiwan is expected to announce tomorrow the "0+7" plan to hit the road on October 13. Whether it will follow up on Hong Kong's entry and quarantine measures has attracted attention from the outside world.

Luo Yijun said at the press conference on the epidemic that according to the "0+3" announced by the Hong Kong Department of Health, starting from the day of arrival as 0 days, plus the subsequent 1st to 3rd days, there are 4 days of self-epidemic prevention, although you can go out freely, "But you must do 4 negative PCR tests before you can go out. Although you can go to work and school during this period, you can't go to restaurants, bars and crowded places."

It is understood that Taiwan's "0+7", which is expected to hit the road tomorrow (September 29), will not only fully open up the entry of passengers from visa-free countries, but will also cancel the airport nucleic acid test and issue four rapid test kits instead.

The entry quarantine measures will be maintained for 3 days of home quarantine and 4 days of self-prevention, and the home quarantine place for the first 3 days will be adjusted to "1 person, 1 room".

The second phase is expected to be implemented from October 13. The target is to open up the number of inbound tourists to 150,000 per week, to open the entry of people from visa-free countries and to cancel the ban on tour groups. Arrangements, inbound people no longer need to be quarantined, and during the self-prevention period, they only need to hold a negative rapid test result within 2 days to go to the restaurant to dine alone or with a specific person. However, it is still uncertain whether the second stage is not open to Hong Kong tourists.

Luo Yijun said that Hong Kong's entry quarantine "0+3" is more stringent than Taiwan's upcoming "0+7". If Hong Kong is followed up, it means that Taiwan's entry management will become more restrictive than the initially planned "0+7". There is no such plan at this stage.

It is understood that Taiwan's "0+7" plan will be replaced by rapid screening (rapid testing agents) and autonomous epidemic prevention, and there will be opportunities to move towards "0+0" in the future.

Wang Bisheng, commander of Taiwan's Central Epidemic Command Center, also said that countries are gradually unblocking borders, but it is not easy to have fewer quarantine days. Depending on the specific implementation content, Taiwan will implement "0+7" in accordance with the current planning direction.

Wang Bisheng also mentioned that there is no need for anti-epidemic hotels after the unblocking. He has discussed with the Taiwan Tourism Bureau that all anti-epidemic hotels will be withdrawn in the future, and will also guide the transformation of the industry in the future.
