China and Hong Kong implemented quarantine-free customs clearance on Sunday (8th). The Hong Kong government clarified this morning (10th) that all people entering the mainland from Hong Kong must have a negative nucleic acid test result taken within 48 hours before travel, including children under the age of three.
Zhu Weilin, vice-chairman of the New Territories Principals Association and principal of Fengxi No. 1 Primary School, said that the 48-hour nucleic acid testing requirement has brought troubles to cross-border students, because many cross-border students travel point-to-point, which is difficult to test in Hong Kong, and testing stations in the mainland are also in trouble. Reduced, it is not easy to test in the mainland, so I hope that the quick test can be replaced: "𠵱The request is to be tested once every other day. The Hong Kong academic circle is actually used to doing the quick test. I believe that cross-border students will have no problems. I hope there will be news before the Lunar New Year holiday. Because it takes time to inform the parents.”
After three years of the epidemic, cross-border students cannot attend classes in Hong Kong.

Zhu Weilin revealed on a radio program that about 200 of the more than 700 students in his school are cross-border students. They still mainly attend full-time online classes. The school expects them to come to Hong Kong to take physical classes after the Lunar New Year holiday.

However, according to current requirements, cross-border children must also have a negative nucleic acid test result within 48 hours before travel before they can enter the mainland. Zhu Weilin said that there is a certain difficulty: "Many of them come to return to school, and they go back to their homes directly after school. (Mainland), the 48-hour nucleic acid test has to be done every other day, which is annoying, and it is impossible for children to do it by themselves, and many testing stations in the mainland are closed, so there are difficulties in time and testing fees.”

Zhu Weilin hopes that the relevant authorities will allow the quick test to ban the 48-hour nucleic acid test, and there will be news before the Lunar New Year holiday, because cross-border students have other matters to deal with in addition to epidemic prevention arrangements before they can return to Hong Kong for classes: "Some are old enough I haven’t got my child’s identity card, and some re-entry permits or restricted area permits have expired and I have to reapply.”
