Customs clearance|Different from overseas entry requirements Expert: Pre-nucleic acid testing solves the problem of cross-border medical treatment

[07:00] The government announced yesterday (5th) that from Sunday (8th), regardless of whether mainlanders come to Hong Kong or Hong Kong people return to the mainland, they must have a negative nucleic acid test result 48 hours before entering the country.

On the contrary, at present, overseas people can choose to enter Hong Kong with the results of rapid test or nucleic acid test.

Liang Zichao, a specialist in respiratory system, said that the flow of people between China and Hong Kong "is tens of thousands at home, but hundreds of thousands may go to the second day." He believes that if the 48-hour inspection is used, it can be avoided The problem of cross-border medical treatment arises when the medical treatment in the two places is not necessarily synchronized.

Chen Kaixin, vice chairman of the Health Affairs Committee of the Legislative Council, believes that the 48-hour nucleic acid test can ensure that immigrants are free of infection, and relieve the worries of virus transmission and increase the medical burden in Hong Kong: "There are some differences with overseas (testing requirements), but generally It is a policy that has been very important for China and Hong Kong in the past three years and has been expected by thousands of people, so there is a requirement for nucleic acid testing in the first wave.” She believes that there will be room to adjust the measures in the future.
