He Boliang: October 18 welcomes the "Thousand Days of Anti-epidemic", it is time to cancel safe travel and gathering restrictions
[12:02] The new crown epidemic in Hong Kong started in early 2020. The director of the Center for Infection and Infectious Diseases of the University of Hong Kong, Ho Pak-leung, said in a radio program today (3rd) that October 18th this year will be the "Thousand Days of Anti-epidemic", and the public will be "returning to normal". There is a great consensus on the demands. It is suggested that the policy address can be "completely loosened", including the cancellation of safe travel, airport nucleic acid testing, etc. "1,000 days is not a short time."
The current limit of 4 people is still maintained.
He Bailiang said that there is no place to continue the implementation of the 4-person gathering restriction order, and the relevant measures have no scientific basis and actual needs, but if the government has non-scientific considerations, he will also respect the government's administrative decision.
Many Asian countries cancel on-board testing to grab passengers Tian Beichen: Hong Kong government will announce "0+0" as soon as this week
[11:14] The government announced earlier that the in-person quarantine for those arriving in Hong Kong from overseas and Taiwan will be changed from "3+4" to "0+3".
Tian Beichen, a member of the Legislative Council of the Roundtable on Real Politics, said on the radio program today (3rd) that "0+0" is imperative, and that the government will announce it as early as this week, and at the latest in the third week of October.
Tian also pointed out that in order to restore Hong Kong's former competitiveness, it is believed that Hong Kong's testing procedures will become a decisive factor for business travelers or tourists to consider coming to Hong Kong.
He said that no passengers would want to be quarantined for 7 days after arriving in Hong Kong after testing positive, so it is recommended that they can use a quick test instead of a nucleic acid test after landing.
Restrictions on restaurants are eased in the past few days. The catering industry said that it is welcome but not satisfied, but it is still difficult to meet the banquet of associations
[10:09] The government will relax a series of social distancing measures from Thursday (6th), including the increase in restaurants from 8 to 12 people, and doubling of banquets to a maximum of 240 people.
Zhang Jiahao, chairman of Yu Yan Group, pointed out in a radio program today (3rd) that although the government welcomes the relaxation of measures, he bluntly said that he is "not satisfied" and hopes to fully relax in the future, including extending business hours.
Zhang Jiahao also said that 240 people are still difficult to meet most of the banquets. Because of the banquets of associations, including hometown associations, celebrations of the return of the country or National Day, the number of people can reach 300 to 400 people at any time.
The circuit breaker mechanism for high seas tours has been cancelled since Thursday.
[09:57] The government announced earlier that it will cancel the circuit breaker mechanism for cruises on high seas this Thursday (6th).
However, the cruise company Royal Caribbean, which has participated in high seas cruises in Hong Kong, has earlier transferred the cruise ship Spectrum of the Seas from Hong Kong to Singapore.
Ye Qingning, president of the Hong Kong Travel Agency Owners Association, pointed out in a radio program today (3rd) that the arrangement did not meet the expectations of the industry, and frankly stated that "the circuit breaker mechanism should be lifted early in the morning", but the announcement was delayed until now, bluntly saying that many things cannot be saved.
He also pointed out that it is difficult to deploy ships suddenly, because it takes time for cruise ships to return to Hong Kong, and it will take several months to set up offices and recruit staff. Therefore, he is not optimistic that cruise activities can be resumed before the end of this year.
