Chief Executive Lee Ka-chao will hold a press conference of the "Guidance and Coordination Group for Response to Epidemic" at 3:30 this afternoon (28th), where he is expected to announce matters related to customs clearance with the Mainland and response to the epidemic.
The Department of Health announced yesterday (27th) that there were 18,626 new confirmed cases, about 800 fewer than yesterday; 53 patients died after the rebound, and the total number of cases reached 11,562.
The National Health and Medical Commission announced a major change in prevention and control policies in the middle of the night on Monday (26th). The mainland will be "switched" from January 8th. Chinese and foreign personnel entering the mainland do not need to undergo nucleic acid testing and centralized isolation (quarantine). A negative nucleic acid test result within the previous 48 hours is sufficient.
Li Weizhen, chairman of the Federation of Hong Kong Medical Laboratories, predicts that the laboratories in Hong Kong can perform at least 80,000 to 100,000 single-sample nucleic acid tests per day, which is believed to be able to meet the initial demand for customs clearance.
