Recently, the number of confirmed cases in COVID-19 has decreased. The Chief Executive, Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, wrote an article entitled "Fighting the epidemic in August, we must not relax", pointing out that the third wave of COVID-19 epidemic has been contained in Hong Kong. The government is grasping this period. On the one hand, it relaxes the social distance by stages, so that economic activities and people's normal life can be gradually restored, and the pressure of enterprises and people's anti-epidemic fatigue can be alleviated. On the other hand, comprehensively examine the epidemic prevention and control measures, improve the anti-epidemic ability in many ways, and make full preparations for better coping with future epidemics.
Lin Zheng also mentioned that Hong Kong is an export-oriented economy. In order to revive its economy, it is necessary to resume personnel exchanges with other places. Many citizens need to travel across borders, especially to and from the mainland, for reasons such as family and work. She said that the technical development of the "Hong Kong Health Code" system has been basically completed, and the government is actively discussing "tourism bubbles" with countries with relatively stable epidemic situation and close economic and trade relations with Hong Kong, so that citizens can make a trip as soon as possible.
However, due to the rebound of the local epidemic, the relevant arrangements have not been implemented. As the local epidemic situation gradually stabilizes, the SAR Government will strive to restart consultations with relevant authorities so that citizens can travel as soon as possible.
