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.

Tian Beichen explained that passengers can do multiple quick tests before boarding the plane, so they can grasp the risks themselves and make sure that there will be no problems after landing. "Even if it is in the plane, it will not appear so quickly." Before many people got on the plane, the local nucleic acid test was negative, but the nucleic acid test result after arriving in Hong Kong was positive, making it difficult for passengers to grasp the results after landing. "Everyone knows that the nucleic acid (test) line in Hong Kong is drawn. Very high."

Tian Beichen also emphasized that although some places do not even need a quick test, Hong Kong cannot "have nothing", "We are part of China no matter what."

Other places snatch our tourists, and only hope to quench their thirst.”

Criticizing that traveling with peace of mind is meaningless

Tian Xu pointed out that the original purpose of Anxin Travel was to "strictly prevent transmission", and there was no vaccine passport at that time.

Until now, when entering the place where the mask is removed, you have to use the safe travel and vaccine pass.

He criticized that under this arrangement, the relevant places are unsupervised, and traveling with peace of mind seems to be in name only and has a negative image. "It seems to feel like doing it for the sake of doing it." You cannot enter the place where the mask is removed, so traveling with peace of mind is like repeating the function.

Restrictions on restaurants have been eased in the past few days. The catering industry said that it is welcome but not satisfied. It is still difficult to satisfy the banquet of the association. The circuit breaker mechanism for high seas tours will be cancelled from Thursday.

Latest | The number of confirmed cases continues to decline. Social distancing measures will be released on Thursday. Mandatory testing will be released | 76 buildings are listed in Shatin.
