Foreign tourists should be quarantined at their own expense 14 days.

Pneumonia also broke out in new hospitals in Britain and the United States, which led many international students and foreigners to return home. Meanwhile, Hong Kong recently reported 57 new cases of COVID-19. For this reason, the Hong Kong Government issued a red travel warning, requiring all immigrants to be quarantined for 14 days at their own expense.

Hong kong entry quarantine

Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR)1July 7 said that in view of the global spread of the COVID-19 epidemic, the SAR government announced that all people who entered Hong Kong from foreign countries must undergo compulsory quarantine or medical supervision on June 6, 438+09.

According to the Department of Health of the SAR Government, those who are forced to be quarantined must stay in their permanent residence for isolation, while those who are under medical supervision can go out, but they must wear masks and report their physical condition daily.

New cases in Hong Kong

Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor told the media before attending the Executive Council that there were 57 new cases of pneumonia infection in Hong Kong in the past two weeks, of which about 9 cases were imported cases or their close contacts. At present, the focus of epidemic prevention in Hong Kong has shifted to preventing imported cases. If strict control measures are not taken to prevent imported cases from spreading in the community, the epidemic prevention work in these two months will be in vain.

Red travel warning

As the global epidemic continues to escalate, the SAR Government issued three red outbound warnings in the past week, announcing the implementation of health and quarantine arrangements for immigrants from relevant sources, including Hokkaido, Japan, Schengen countries, Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States. Starting from 17, the SAR government's early warning of red outbound travel will be extended to all countries and regions in the world except the Mainland, Macau and Taiwan Province Province.

Arrangements for overseas students to return to Hong Kong

Carrie Lamchengyuet-Carrie Lamchengyuet-Ngor said that since many Hong Kong students studying in Britain and the United States have returned to Hong Kong, she has discussed with Cathay Pacific to take measures to increase flights and use large aircraft to help overseas students return to Hong Kong. The SAR Government also distributed 67,000 masks of Cathay Pacific Airways to Hong Kong residents who returned from Britain and the United States.

Epidemic isolation cost

Hong Kong's Ming Pao commented that the epidemic is a time to test the quality of citizens. It is irresponsible to make a false health declaration and regard the government quarantine center as a place to provide meals, accommodation and masks for free. It is necessary for the authorities to take measures as a warning. On June 5438+07, Hong Kong's Wen Wei Po reported that Beijing began to transfer all the people outside Beijing to a centralized observation point for isolation observation for a period of 14 days, during which the expenses of the isolated people were self-care. It is reasonable for Hong Kong Quarantine Center to charge HK$ 200 for check-in and meals every day, and it is also a necessary measure to prevent the quarantine center from being abused. The article also points out that hotels in Hong Kong have entered the cold winter, and the daily rent of some hotels has been as low as 70 to 200 Hong Kong dollars. The government can consider renting a hotel as an isolation center in the factory area not close to residential buildings.
