When Chief Executive Lee Ka-chao announced the "domestic clearance" arrangement today (5th), he was asked whether it would lead to more overseas countries increasing quarantine requirements for Hong Kong people.

"It meets everyone's needs. We will share our common will", he stressed that he will do his best to disseminate information so that foreign countries can grasp the real situation of the control of the epidemic in Hong Kong.
Different countries, many times their consul generals or chambers of commerce have asked Hong Kong to do this (clear customs with the mainland). remote.
