Hong Kong is free of quarantine in November,
The new quarantine system will be online
Recently, it can be said that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China has been continuously relaxing entry restrictions.
Just in Last week, Hong Kong government just announced the suspension of the circuit breaker mechanism, so that more international students can return to Hong Kong smoothly. The decision of also facilitates overseas Chinese to transfer from Hong Kong to the mainland. After all, flight stability is still very important at this time.
(click to view the details: Big news! China officially announced the relaxation of restrictions, direct international flights to Beijing will be resumed in batches, and Hong Kong will suspend circuit breakage!)
Just now, good news came from Hong Kong again:
Hong Kong is expected to achieve overseas entry without quarantine in November this year!

Hong Kong's newly appointed Secretary for Medical and Health Lu Chongmao latest revealed that people arriving overseas in Hong Kong had the opportunity to allow conditions to be exempted from quarantine before November, but it may only be limited to some people.
Lu Chongmao said that in early November, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority plans to hold an "International Investment Summit", and bankers from all over the world will attend the event.
retains the requirements for incoming persons to nucleic acid testing , but it is not ruled out that other measures are relaxed. includes the cancellation of fixed-point isolation and changing it to medical monitoring. Although the form of isolation may change, high-risk activities are prohibited for entry during the period, including entering bars and other places.

So how to ensure entry quarantine? Hong Kong will launch the real-name system of "safe travel" and the "red, yellow and green" health code as soon as possible. The "yellow code" is mainly for use by quarantine personnel after entering the country, and the relevant details are still being discussed.
According to this system, in addition to the green code, those who hold the "red code" and those who are quarantined in hotels with "yellow code" will be restricted to travel to varying degrees until they obtain the green health code.
Lu Chongmao pointed out that the red and yellow code and the real-name system for travel safely are not to restrict citizens' freedom, but to manage social distance , which helps shorten the quarantine time for incoming people. People with yellow codes can go to work, but are not allowed to enter high-risk places, such as nursing homes, bars or other places where masks are removed.

Summary:
- Red code: Confirmed patients with new coronary pneumonia will be listed as red code, and they are not allowed to leave their residence and must be quarantined.
- yellow code: Visitors entering Hong Kong overseas are not allowed to enter high-risk places such as hospitals and nursing homes.
- green code: Those who have no confirmed diagnosis and have completed health notification will be displayed as green code.
However, before deciding to adjust the regulations, it is still necessary to check the latest data on the positive rate of COVID-19 test submitted by overseas entrants on the third day of hotel quarantine and inform the health department of physical testing. In the future, it may be changed to five days of hotel quarantine plus two days of home quarantine, or even seven days of home quarantine.
has reached a maximum of 21 days compared with the entry quarantine period in the second half of 2021. The circuit breaker has been cancelled and the isolation has been shortened to 7 days. It may be further shortened in the future. Hong Kong's entry quarantine requirements have been relaxed.
Does it mean that overseas Chinese can no longer be quarantined when they enter the country before the end of the year mean that overseas Chinese do not need to be quarantined again when they transfer from Hong Kong. They can directly return to the mainland?
Lu Chongmao also gave an answer to this point.
He said that it is impossible for Hong Kong to clear the customs clearance with the Mainland without quarantine in a short period of time. It is unreasonable and impossible to put forward relevant requirements at this stage. It still takes time for to orderly restore customs clearance between the two places.
According to the current policy regulations, overseas Chinese who transfer from Hong Kong to the mainland still need to book an isolated hotel in advance. After enters the mainland, it also needs to be isolated as required. At present, the mainland is implementing 7+3 isolation measures, and the quarantine time has been greatly shortened compared to the previous one.
For Chinese Australians, turning around is still a good choice in terms of cost.
