Tam Yiu-chung: Can increase the quota of humanistic care or expand the lottery quota

Tam Yiu-chung believes that it is necessary to pay attention to how the mainland relaxes entry quarantine restrictions and the number of people in the first stage, because it is impossible to allow a large number of citizens to flock to ports or stations at once. Applications from those with medical needs or family emergencies will be examined and approved according to the situation; another method is to increase the current lottery quota, but how to increase the lottery quota is yet to be discussed. After all, in the past, hundreds of thousands of people entered and exited through Hong Kong and Macau ports every day.

As for whether there will be worries about mainlanders rushing to Hong Kong to buy medicines after customs clearance?

Tam Yaozong responded that there must be demand, and the supply cannot keep up at once. In the past, Hong Kong also experienced long queues to buy masks, and the price was very expensive, but it will calm down after a period of time and the demand will decrease.

He also pointed out that there are not many panic buying by Hong Kong people at present, and if mainlanders come to Hong Kong (snatching up) in the future, the mainland can control the number of people leaving the country.

As for whether the purchase of drugs should be restricted for tourists?

He responded that the pharmacy would handle it.
