Hong Kong has relaxed overseas entry quarantine to "0+3", and the outside world has been concerned that it is inconsistent with the mainland's "zero" policy, or hinders the progress of customs clearance with the mainland.
Tan Yaozong, member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, accepted a TV interview and agreed that Hong Kong should gradually relax its entry quarantine measures. He said that "foreign import prevention" is a task within Hong Kong and can be handled by itself. The central government respects Hong Kong's decision to relax.
Tan Yaozong quoted "mainland friends" to estimate that after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China held in the middle of this month, the customs clearance policy between Hong Kong and the mainland will have the opportunity to relax.
Macau Chief Executive Ho Iat Seng reiterated that if Macau wants to clear customs with the mainland, there is no way to implement quarantine-free measures for Hong Kong, and will follow the steps of the mainland to communicate with Hong Kong simultaneously.
The loosening of entry quarantine belongs to the work of the Hong Kong government, which is different, but the central government respects it
At present, the mainland adopts the "7+3" quarantine policy for Hong Kong immigrants, that is, 7 days of isolation at "health stations" and 3 days of home health monitoring, and places must be allocated by "drawing lots".
Tan Yaozong pointed out that Hong Kong's current epidemic prevention policy is different from the mainland's "clearing", but he quoted "mainland friends" to estimate that after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the customs clearance policies of the two places will have the opportunity to relax.
Ho Iat Seng pointed out that there is currently no timetable for Macau to relax the entry quarantine for Hong Kong people. Macau will only communicate with Hong Kong when the mainland relaxes the isolation measures for Hong Kong.
Tan Yaozong talked about the "clearing" policy, saying that the mainland will continue to screen to detect and isolate infected people in time, "It is good for the (mainland) people, but the price to pay is huge, especially for the economy. The impact is huge.”
Zhang Jianzong commented on epidemic prevention as a citizen: the direction is correct and the closure is too patient to last for a long time Travel groups with insufficient seats will only recover to 5% of the customs clearance before the epidemic. Tan Yaozong expects that the number of post stations after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China can be increased to 0+3 and the closed loop of anti-quarantine staff can be achieved.
