“The big tsunami is February to April, April to May and then all the way to now, the whole epidemic is relatively stable, there is a little bit of elevation is actually not a great danger to the whole community. Now it is a very small wave, which also has the advantage that some uninfected people have been infected this time. The seriousness of the disease is better controlled, and the whole epidemic is basically stable.”

“We should have some confidence in ourselves that when they come over, they can be asked to be tested and separate the infected people. It is more reasonable to charge for vaccination if they come over temporarily, and I believe Macau is doing the same.”

NPC Standing Committee member Tam Yiu-chung recently said on another radio program that full customs clearance between Hong Kong and the mainland is expected to be available in June next year.
