They never push their population to get a high vaccination rate before they open up to outside, and now they open up to vaccinated tourists to enter HK? I think same for US, they asked mexicans to come to US for vaccination holiday... ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give another 2-3 weeks to be back to square one Who's going to first start saying dine-in for Group of 5 allowed again? Businesses cannot tahan this kind of open-close-open-close-open-close ad infinitum. F&B owners and workers playing musical chairs and tables rearrangements every few weeks. The employees also, rather than take the unpredictability of next months' paycheques - better to sign up as SDA for more stable income, right? Opening up for a few weeks will just reveal yet other loopholes that no one is aware of at this point in time. True lo, now cases come down, and then they resume dine-in and some activities, then after a while some big cluster might happen again. And then they would tighten the measures again. Looks like no solution on this? Maybe even vaccination rate reached 80% also cannot guaranteed if big cluster will occur again? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably those pax who took these busses will also need to be quarantine or at least need to go to do swab test? Bus drivers got it but if people are well masked, chances are low also. My my office cleaner also kena i siam. my driver kena I also siam. I think cos I never unmask and face to face with people lor. Keep good habit, talk to people softly and at a distant, never touch your mask and then touch your face. Or even don't anyhow touch things. Wash hands regularly. Remove mask when home, and dispose it appropriately. I almost become a robot on this liao. Donno when this will end😥 4 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends......at what point/time does the government stop counting? If they go full endemic, unlikely at the moment, it means they stop monitoring cases and clusters completely and only monitor who and how many arrive at the hospital. The question is when, and we're too early for now, but if nothing changes in the make-up of the variants, this is the final goal. The ban on visitors to hospital wards protects the most vulnerable even if everybody outside gets some reduced restrictions. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just thinking if this is coincidence or it is part of the plan to pressure the unvaxxed elderly in hospital to vaccinate. The pressure will be greater because the family will not be around. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
