The sudden outbreak of the new crown epidemic in the first 2020 disrupted people's rules of the game. First, several mainlanders arrived in Hong Kong were diagnosed, and then broke out locally. Hong Kong citizens have lived a life when they go out to wear masks and cannot get together with their relatives and friends since the Lunar New Year.
And just in the Lunar New Year on January 25, the SAR government upgraded the response level of the new coronavirus to the highest level of emergency. For me, it was a coincidence that the high-speed rail I went home passed through Wuhan, and Wuhan was shrouded in the haze of the epidemic.

Although the school has a burden on the housing fee, I still feel angry and helpless.
This is the email that the school asked me to quarantine
The reason was mainly because the SAR government only called on people entering from the mainland to voluntarily quarantine for 14 days (although the 14-day quarantine gift package will arrive later). But the school's attitude is to force quarantine for 14 days, otherwise it will not be allowed to stay in the dormitory. At the most critical moment when I graduated, it was somewhat inconvenient to be isolated for half a month. But there was nothing we could do. The social atmosphere in Hong Kong at that time really caused panic to those of us who came back from the mainland. I had to bring my unopened suitcase and opened the only centralized quarantine in Hong Kong.
The quarantine hotel room where I stayed
Now when I think back on this centralized isolation, it really gave me a thorough rest for the first time. Moreover, I was assigned to the hotel's upper floors, with the room facing the sea.
At that time, the University of Science and Technology established a centralized isolation WeChat group for us. may be because the epidemic outside is very serious, so you can feel the nervousness and fear of many people just through WeChat group chat. For example, many group members are particularly concerned about two issues: one is how the central air conditioner in the room operates, and will it cause the airflow of different rooms to flow to each other. The second is whether the windows can be opened for ventilation. This shows that everyone was very afraid of the spread of the virus at that time.
Outside the window, you can see the sea of University of Science and Technology. The hazy sky is like the mood of my first day of staying
Because I was caught off guard during this centralized isolation, I didn’t pack any information and just brought my suitcase. Fortunately, there is a computer in the suitcase. html In addition to giving away food and disinfection in 114 days, my door was never knocked off again. It was really a boring day. But think about it the other way around, this is also a valuable experience of the same style as Guangxu Emperor. And I can pass the time online and I can enjoy freedom in fourteen days. It is more psychologically more comfortable than him being imprisoned in Yingtai.
Hong Kong is a highly liberalized city. Not long after, the government changed the 14-day centralized isolation to home quarantine. In November 2020, the policy of returning to Hong Kong was introduced to be free of quarantine.
I still remember the first time I was quarantined at home, when I passed the customs, the staff of the Immigration Department wore a bracelet for home isolation on me. I also taught me how to start the bracelet and inform me of the requirements for 14 days of home isolation.
Since I live alone, I have to stock up on enough food to deal with my 14-day diet. So I could only go home and go to the market to sweep a bunch of food before starting the bracelet. In order not to notice that I was wearing a bracelet, I secretly tied a scarf to the bracelet to block it. Maybe I was guilty. When I was buying vegetables in the street market, I happened to meet A Sir on patrol, which made me very nervous. I was afraid that I would be discovered by Sir. I was a person who was quarantined at home.
Home quarantine ring has entered the stage of time
Since this is the first time I have worn an isolation bracelet, after the bracelet is started, I asked to walk around my home to confirm the range of activities. I didn't expect to open the door and walk to the corridor where the garbage was removed, so that my house was stocked up with garbage in the first few days of quarantine. In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore. After confirming that there was no one in the corridor through the Maoyan on the door, I secretly wanted to throw away the garbage at the speed of light. Finally, I took a long breath: Fortunately, I was not discovered.
Now, from September 26 this year, Hong Kong Yi will come to an end. SAR Government announced that all people who arrive from the Mainland and Macau and who have no overseas or Taiwan travel records 7 days before arrival, whether they enter Hong Kong via land ports or Hong Kong International Airport , do not need to make an appointment to return to Hong Kong and nucleic acid test before entering Hong Kong. Can be directly free of quarantine.
Latest Mainland return to Hong Kong policy
This practice greatly facilitates entry to Hong Kong. In the past, we used the Shenzhen Bay Port , and we needed to do nucleic acid testing in Guangdong Province in advance. This is very inconvenient for those of us outside the province. Since it takes time to produce nucleic acid results, it means that friends from other provinces need to use Huigang Yi, and may have to come to Guangdong Province one day in advance to make a landed nucleic acid. When I used Hong Kong Yi for the first time, I didn't look carefully at the nucleic acid requirements, so I almost failed to pass the test. But I clearly feel that after the quarantine-free policy was launched, the time for us to return to Hong Kong to customs clearance was greatly shortened.
In addition to the change in the clearance time, for me personally, the biggest change is the change in mentality. From the fear and rejection when I was isolated at the beginning, to the habit of the rhythm of life of isolation, to the convenience and efficiency of "enjoying" one-way clearance.
And how sparse and common the term before the epidemic. hopes to achieve two-way clearance as soon as possible.
