The “0+3” new quarantine measures took effect at 6:00 am today (26th). People arriving from overseas and Taiwan are no longer required to sit in quarantine in hotels. The first batch of passengers under the new measures will arrive in Hong Kong this morning. Mr. Wu, who returned to Hong Kong from San Francisco, USA via Taipei, said that the entry process took about ten minutes. He said that after learning about the implementation of the “0+3” quarantine measures in Hong Kong, the decision “only took a few minutes”. Book a flight back to Hong Kong. He said that in March and April this year, he had returned to Hong Kong several times when he still needed to be quarantined at the hotel on the 7th, but now it is better not to be quarantined.

Mr. Wu also believes that compared with the previous “3+4” quarantine measures, “0+3” saves 3 days of quarantine time, which is a big difference for tourists, and even bigger for business travelers, because General business trips are a few days. If you want to isolate the entire trip for 3 days, it has become very unreasonable; I think that “every person saves 3 days, and the time saved is even more immeasurable”. In addition, it can save money for nucleic acid testing.

However, Mr. Wu also said that the process of submitting the test report online encountered difficulties, because the Hong Kong government only updated the form in the early hours of this morning. . In addition, since “0+3” is a new measure, ground staff from both the United States and Taiwan have to communicate with Hong Kong to know how to arrange it.

In addition, Simon, a Hong Konger who has not returned to Hong Kong for more than two years, said that he heard about the new measures in Taiwan the day before yesterday, so he bought a ticket online to return to Hong Kong yesterday. He pointed out, “I want to go back to Hong Kong”, but because he had to stay in a quarantine hotel before, The room is small and the rent is expensive, and the food is poor. He went on to say that the health declaration and quick test had been done before boarding the plane. Today’s entry process was smooth, and he was very satisfied. After arriving in Hong Kong, he would go to “meet the housekeepers” and eat whatever he wanted, including wonton noodles. .
