After the mainland optimizes and adjusts preventive measures, more and more news about "customs clearance is expected" has appeared in Hong Kong society, and all walks of life in Hong Kong have been waiting for good news. Hong Kong media broke the news today (23rd) that the Immigration Department issued an internal notice to arrange for all personnel who have been transferred from the control points to return to their respective ports for duty starting next Wednesday (28th). Since some port control points have been closed for several years, relevant personnel need to return to their original posts and become familiar with the work procedures to deal with possible emergencies that may arise during subsequent customs clearance.
So, is this situation true? A reporter from Dagong Wenhui All Media today (23rd) inquired about the manpower deployment situation at the control point with the Immigration Department. The Immigration Department stated that there will be internal transfers every week, and each department will transfer staff to each other, so some staff will definitely be transferred back to work at the control point, but not all staff will return to the station, and it is not yet clear how many staff will be transferred.
Dagong Wenhui all-media reporters continued to contact the Security Bureau for enquiries. They said they did not know whether there was anyone on duty at the port immigration department, but the reason for "mobilizing manpower" may also be that some staff were infected with the new coronavirus and needed to be replaced by other staff. Staff from the Health Department would also be mobilized to be on duty at the port to conduct health and quarantine inspections, etc. As of press time, the Security Bureau has not yet given any further response.
