During the Lunar New Year, a large number of citizens return to their hometowns for the New Year. When they return to Hong Kong, they need to have a 48-hour negative test certificate for the new coronavirus nucleic acid. The same requirement applies to mainlanders coming to Hong Kong.
The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong has received feedback from citizens that the relevant measures have made it inconvenient for people to travel between the two places. Therefore, the representatives of the 13th and 14th National People's Congress of the party wrote to the National Health Commission, suggesting that the nucleic acid testing requirements for entry and exit between China and Hong Kong be abolished.
In addition, Yang Yongjie, a member of the "A4" coalition of the Legislative Council, also urged the cancellation of the nucleic acid testing arrangement for customs clearance, and proposed that the rapid test can be used to replace the nucleic acid testing requirement for returning to Hong Kong.

Yang Yongjie pointed out that it is difficult for neighbors to find testing stations in the Mainland
On the other hand, some citizens reported to Yang Yongjie that it was difficult to obtain services from nucleic acid testing agencies during the Lunar New Year period, or they would not be able to return to Hong Kong for work and school as scheduled due to staying in the Mainland.
Yang Yongjie said that a neighbor went to more than 20 nucleic acid testing stations in Tianhe, Haizhu and Yuexiu districts of Guangzhou in the afternoon on the fourth day of the lunar new year, but none of them provided services. Finally, at 4 pm, he found that the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University was still there.
However, the doctor in charge had already left work at that time, and had to go to register again at 8:00 am on the fifth day of the next day.
However, the neighbor also had to register and line up to "see a doctor" on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year's Day. During the process, because the mini-program could not be certified, he also had to print a report at the hospital. The process was very frustrating.
Yang Yongjie hopes to cancel the relevant nucleic acid testing regulations as soon as possible to facilitate personnel exchanges between the two places.
