The mainland announced that it would be exempt from quarantine on entry on January 8, and Hong Kong immediately revoked a number of social and entry epidemic prevention measures, including vaccine passes and restrictions on gatherings.
The convener of the Executive Council and the chairman of the New Democratic Party, Ye Liushuyi, said on the cable program "Rational and Gained" today (31st) that the mainland's decision to clear customs is an important factor in Hong Kong's relaxation of epidemic prevention measures. Hong Kong, as the "South Gate" of the Mainland, should cooperate The mainland's epidemic prevention policy, "The mainland is loose, we should cooperate."
Asked whether this is because mainland factors overwhelm science, Ye Liushuyi pointed out that the mainland makes decisions based on science, such as considering whether the speed of Omicron's infection can be stopped by containment: "We are all the same, we all look at the data."
Ye Liu: Vaccination or customs clearance is more effective "grain needle"?
Regarding the cancellation of the vaccine pass by Lu Chongmao, the director of the Medical and Health Bureau, within a few days, Ye Liushuyi believes that she has weighed the effectiveness of different approaches: "The government considers that we use the vaccine pass, that is, to encourage people to get injections when going to restaurants and designated places. Is it more effective for people to get injections; or do citizens automatically see that they have cleared the customs and there are so many people, so they can protect themselves and go for injections?"
In terms of customs clearance, Ye Liu Shuyi said that more than 2.5 million people have been infected in Hong Kong, and the vaccination rate is also good. There is a certain epidemic prevention barrier, and customs clearance with the mainland should be allowed to allow Hong Kong people to return to the mainland to visit relatives and do business. is in the best interest of the general public.
Get the same injections before coming to Hong Kong from the mainland?
Ye Liu: It is necessary to carefully study whether one size fits all
At present, the vaccination requirements for people entering Hong Kong from the mainland and overseas are inconsistent. People coming from the mainland to Hong Kong do not need to be vaccinated. Liu Shuyi said that the injection rates in different regions of the mainland are different.
Foreign countries impose entry restrictions on China Ye Liu: understandable
Japan once restricted the use of some local airports by Hong Kong flights. Yip Liu Shuyi expressed her understanding of foreign practices, but hoped that they could be relaxed.
She specifically mentioned that the northern part of Italy was once the hardest-hit area, so she was particularly cautious about the epidemic. It is understandable that the local government requires Chinese immigrants to undergo compulsory testing.
