Customs clearance in the Mainland｜Tan Yaozong hopes to achieve success before the Chinese New Year, if the number of quarantine days is reduced, reverse isolation may not be necessary

[12:39] The Mainland launched the "New Ten Measures" yesterday to relax epidemic prevention and control measures, including allowing asymptomatic and mild patients to be isolated at home, no longer implementing universal nucleic acid testing, and prohibiting temporary lockdowns and other measures.

It is reported that the Hong Kong government has decided to shorten the number of quarantine days for confirmed cases and close contacts from the current 7 days to 5 days.

Tan Yaozong, member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, said this morning (8th) that he believes that the arrangements for exchanges between Hong Kong and the mainland can be further loosened. He hopes that the Hong Kong government can refer to the practices of the mainland and relax the current epidemic prevention policy as much as possible.

News: The government has reduced the quarantine period and will not withdraw the "Vaccine Link", considering that Hong Kong has already cleared customs and is different from the mainland

[12:17] It is reported that the government will hold a press conference this afternoon (8th) to announce that the number of quarantine days for confirmed cases and close contacts will be shortened from the current 7 days to 5 days.

As long as the relevant person has a negative quick test on the 4th and 5th day, regardless of whether he has been vaccinated or not, he can be released to the "epidemic supervision" immediately.

It is understood that the government held an internal meeting yesterday afternoon to discuss relaxing the anti-epidemic policy, and finally decided to maintain the "vaccine pass" and "safe travel" and other measures unchanged, and did not follow the "New Ten Measures" in the Mainland to cancel the scanning of "health codes" in general places. The reason for this is to take into account that the mainland has not yet released the "foreign defense import", and Hong Kong has almost completely cleared the customs for the outside world. People entering the country under the "0+3" status no longer need to undergo compulsory quarantine, and only need to undergo three days of medical surveillance. After that, you can walk around the market.
