July 1 is approaching, and the countdown to the "Celebration of the 25th Anniversary of Hong Kong's Return to the Motherland and the Inauguration Ceremony of the Sixth Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region" is 1 day!

The great news came one after another, which undoubtedly gave many people waiting for "clearance" to see new hope...

01

Only "7+3" is required for quarantine when entering the mainland

On June 28, the State Council issued a notice on the issuance of the "New Coronavirus Pneumonia Prevention and Control Plan (Ninth Edition)".

Adjustments have been made for epidemic monitoring, isolation management of risk personnel, and standards for the demarcation of medium and high risk areas.

Among them, it is also the plan that everyone is most concerned about. The isolation and control time of close contacts and entry personnel will be from:

"14-day centralized isolation medical observation + 7-day home health monitoring"

tweak to:

"7-day centralized isolation medical observation + 3-day home health monitoring"

From "14+7" to "7+3", the quarantine period has been reduced by a full 11 days!

02

The requirements for "nucleic acid testing" have also been relaxed

Not only has the quarantine policy on entry to the mainland been relaxed, but the requirements for "nucleic acid testing" have also been relaxed when the quarantine is lifted!

According to the latest regulations, nucleic acid testing measures are from:

"Centralized isolation medical observation Nucleic acid testing on the 1st, 4th, 7th and 14th days, collection of nasopharyngeal swabs, double collection and double testing before release of isolation"

tweak to:

"Centralized isolation medical observation on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th days and home health monitoring on the 3rd day of nucleic acid testing, collection of oropharyngeal swabs"

In addition, "double sampling and double inspection" is not required before the release of centralized isolation medical observation. (That is, nasopharyngeal swab, oropharyngeal swab sampling and testing.)

In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a message on June 29:

For the communication itinerary card, the "asterisk" mark will be cancelled from now on.

After the communication itinerary card "catches the stars", it will be more convenient for people to travel and travel under the normalization of prevention and control.

New news from Hong Kong

Just after the announcement of the "7+3" policy, new news came from Hong Kong:

The quarantine period for entry into Hong Kong may be shortened to "5+2"!

That is, people entering the country will be quarantined in a quarantine hotel for 5 days, and then quarantined at home for 2 days.

According to a Hong Kong cable news report on June 28, the SAR government plans to study the relaxation of entry quarantine restrictions, including considering the "5+2" quarantine plan.

It is reported that the Hong Kong government will review the data and relax it only when it is ready, and will study how nucleic acid testing can be done faster and more accurately.

Currently travelling from Mainland China to Hong Kong:

Hong Kong residents and non-Hong Kong residents can enter Hong Kong from the mainland without quarantine by making an appointment on Easy Entry/Return to Hong Kong under certain conditions.

Those who are not eligible for Easy Entry/Return to Hong Kong will still need to undergo 7-day or 14-day quarantine as required to enter Hong Kong from the Mainland, Macao, Taiwan and overseas.

This news is not groundless.

As early as June 23, the "South China Morning Post" reported that Li Jiachao, the chief executive-designate, said in an exclusive interview that even if it may not be so easy to achieve in the short term, complete quarantine-free customs clearance with the mainland is still a priority.

The Hong Kong government is actively studying customs clearance with the mainland and international countries to reduce the inconvenience caused by epidemic prevention measures to inbound tourists. The incoming medical and health secretary will review the Hong Kong epidemic after taking office, and study that customs clearance will not bring risks to the mainland epidemic.

If the "5+2" policy can be implemented, then the total quarantine time to and from the mainland of Hong Kong will be almost half a month! For those who enter Hong Kong without quarantine through the Easy Entry/Return to Hong Kong program, the round-trip quarantine time is only 10 days.

The full restoration of quarantine-free customs clearance to boost economic development is one of the wishes of the citizens of the two places.

Is this the return gift of the 25th anniversary? !

In the past few days, the atmosphere of celebrating the return of Hong Kong has become stronger and stronger, and the whole city is full of joy and joy.

Tomorrow is a big day to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland and the new Chief Executive to lead the people of Hong Kong to start a new chapter.

History will record this special moment of the past and the future.

Bauhinia is in full bloom. I wish Hong Kong a prosperous future and a better future.
