Hong Kong’s entry measures have been changed to “0+3” for one week. The new crown pneumonia epidemic has not seen a big rebound. The Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce hopes that the Hong Kong government will lift all entry restrictions and implement “0+0” as soon as possible, so as to drive passenger flow, business and large-scale events back to Hong Kong , stimulate and promote the economy, but admit that even if the “0+0” is introduced, as long as the customs clearance with the mainland has not been completed, it will not be able to restore its former advantages. Ye Liu Shuyi, convener of the Executive Council, believes that Hong Kong needs to abolish the medical surveillance of entry in order to attract tourists. She also described the dawn of customs clearance with the mainland.
The entry “0+3” measures took effect last Monday (September 26), with an average of nearly 5,350 people arriving from the airport every day in the first 6 days, an increase from an average of 4,885 people a day in the 6 days before the entry into force. Leung Shau Kee, President of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, revealed in a radio program yesterday that the business sector is currently “hardening up” and preparing to start again, but pointed out that it usually takes one to two months to prepare for large-scale events, so I hope the government can implement the “0 +0”, which also means that even if it can be implemented this quarter, the effect will not be seen until the first quarter of next year at the earliest.
Survey shows that 10% of enterprises are permanently evacuated
Leung Shau Kee said that Hong Kong still has certain competitive advantages, but citing the results of an earlier survey by the General Chamber of Commerce, about 30% of large enterprises indicated that they would consider or have moved out of Hong Kong during the peak of the fifth wave of the epidemic, and 10% were more Long-term relocation is described as a very important “sounding horn”. He believes that even if Hong Kong, which is a bridge between China and the West, has completed customs clearance with the international and “0+0”, it is not normal if it has not been able to fully clear customs with the mainland.
Tian Beichen: Nucleic acid testing is the devil of tourists
Ye Liu Shuyi, who is also a member of the Legislative Council, also suggested on a TV program that Hong Kong should clear customs with the mainland as soon as possible, because mainlanders account for the largest proportion of tourists visiting Hong Kong, but she said that the dawn has now been seen. She also said that after the relaxation to “0+3”, most of the overseas arrivals came to Hong Kong to do business or return to Hong Kong to visit relatives. She urged the government to implement “0+0”, that is, to cancel the medical surveillance requirements for immigrants in order to attract more people. many tourists. Another legislator, Tian Beichen, even pointed out on social networking sites that the biggest “inner demon” of foreigners visiting Hong Kong is to undergo mandatory nucleic acid testing. He believes that it is difficult for them to ensure that the test will not be diagnosed during the trip. A trip has come to an end.” I hope the government can cancel the nucleic acid testing arrangements for those arriving in Hong Kong, so that they can travel to Hong Kong with confidence.
The government plans to arrange for those who intend to enter the mainland to go to the community isolation facility in the Lok Ma Chau Loop to undergo “reverse isolation”, that is, to complete the quarantine requirements required by the mainland in Hong Kong, and then enter Shenzhen through a “closed-loop method”. Ye Liu Shuyi pointed out that science and technology are developing and progressing rapidly, and each term of government is only 5 years. The relevant “reverse segregation” arrangement, such as occupying land for one year, will stifle or slow down the progress of science and technology development in the Loop.

Social distancing measures will be further relaxed from Thursday (6th), such as the maximum number of people for banquets will be increased to 240 people, and the maximum number of people per restaurant will be increased to 12 people. Ye Liu Shuyi said that in addition to banquet venues, restaurant owners, etc., the government also hopes that the government can take care of a smaller number of people, such as live performances in bars and foreign performers singing. She explained that some performers have been out of work for more than a year, and even switched careers to “masonry”. When naming the Director of Medical and Health, Lu Chongmao, when he decided to relax the measures, he should not forget these few people, “This is about human rights.”
Long queues for taxis at Liang Xipi Airport late at night
In addition, overseas arrivals can now directly return to the city by public transport after completing the designated tests at the airport. Legislative Councilor Liang Xi found at the airport last night that a large number of passengers were waiting in a long queue for taxis with luggage. He also pointed out that the airport buses that New Territories residents mainly rely on are scattered infrequently, and most of them only run every half an hour at the most intensive level. We have to wait for the next bus, and wait for an hour.” He posted on social networking sites, urging government departments to coordinate with the bus company and the taxi industry as soon as possible to strengthen the transportation services from the airport out of the city.
