He has always emphasized that customs clearance will be the first task after taking office. Even if customs clearance has been pending for several years, I believe that everyone still has expectations and confidence in customs clearance.

Chief Executive Li Jiachao
Discussing with the mainland for limited customs clearance
Recently, the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions expressed its expectations for the administration of the new government, including improving the economy, clearing customs as soon as possible, and relaxing entry quarantine.
There is also news that the customs clearance is expected in October. In this regard, Chief Executive Li emphasized on the TV program on July 3:
The possibility of limited customs clearance is being discussed with the mainland.
At present, I tend to do some limited convenience measures first, but the details have not been disclosed yet!
On the issue of customs clearance with the Mainland, the priority is for Hong Kong to control the epidemic and avoid increasing the health risk in the Mainland. At present, it may not be necessary to implement compulsory nationwide testing, but nucleic acid testing should be added to high-risk groups to identify cases as soon as possible to curb the spread.
The work of customs clearance with the Mainland and international is not exclusive, and the Hong Kong government will study how to reduce the inconvenience of people coming to Hong Kong from other places.
As for whether to consider relaxing the quarantine days for arriving passengers to "5+2" or "3+4" arrangements (that is, hotel quarantine for 5 or 3 days, and home medical observation for 2 or 4 days), he said it would depend on the data. , will be reviewed as soon as possible.
He Bailiang, director of the Center for Infection and Infectious Diseases of the University of Hong Kong, pointed out that there is room to adjust the quarantine arrangement for inbound travelers under three conditions (as shown in the figure below), from 7-day hotel quarantine to 3-day hotel quarantine plus 4-day home isolation.

Lu Chongmao made an appointment with the inspector
Ask for "how fast, accurate and easy"
Lu Chongmao, the new director of the Medical and Health Bureau, said on July 1 that the first tasks after taking office are:
Through scientific and precise measures to prevent and control the epidemic, we can achieve the greatest effect at the least cost, and connect Hong Kong with the world and the mainland.
It is reported that Lu Chongmao had an appointment with the nucleic acid testing contractor on the afternoon of the day he took office, and put forward five requirements for nucleic acid testing to be "more, faster, more accurate, easier and more balanced".
That is to increase the throughput of nucleic acid testing, obtain test results faster, improve the accuracy of nucleic acid testing, make testing more convenient for citizens, and make testing more affordable.
On July 4, the new director of the Medical and Health Bureau, Lu Chongmao, brought good news:
The quota of "Shenzhen Health Station" has been increased to 2,000. Each IP account can only book one account. The quota will be increased in a short period of time, and the reservation arrangement of "Health Station" will be improved.

The new team of the SAR took office and started work resolutely, and the new style is exciting.
