The West Kowloon High Speed Rail opened today, bringing more and more mainland tourists to Hong Kong.
So what if you travel to Hong Kong but unfortunately get sunny?
First, do a good job of prevention
Travel visa, stay in Hong Kong for up to 7 days, so try not to be sunny if you can. Mainland visitors should remember to wear masks when going out after arriving in Hong Kong.
Second, monitor at all times
Hong Kong's overseas entry requirements include a quick test a few days after arrival.
The Secretary for Health Lo Chong Mau, said that after customs clearance, mainland tourists are also advised to take a quick test every day for the first five days after arriving in Hong Kong. Some people are asymptomatic, and they have to do nucleic acid when they leave to find that they are yang, that is, delaying the trip may also endanger health.
If you end up in Hong Kong, don't worry!
What should tourists do if they need to seek medical treatment and medicine for the new crown in Hong Kong?
If they test positive while in Hong Kong, foreign visitors will be treated in the same way as locals and will need to apply for an isolation order from the CHP through the online platform, during which they can seek medical treatment abroad. Quarantine at the hotel with the consent of the hotel, or call and ask to go to the Zhuhao Bay cabin for quarantine.

If mainland travelers need to obtain medicines, Hong Kong's COVID-specific drugs are prescription drugs that cannot be bought at any pharmacy on the market. Don't rush to the doctor, find a private purchase. The above is illegal! And you don't know if the medicine you bought is genuine.

The Hong Kong government uniformly arranges the distribution and use of new crown drugs, and Hong Kong citizens aged 60 and above, suffering from long-term diseases, and doctors diagnose the need for related drugs, the new crown drugs are free of charge.
So what about the mainland tourists who are recruited?
According to the Hong Kong government, non-Hong Kong people who wish to obtain new crown drugs need to pay the full fee to private doctors or public hospitals at their own expense, and each course of treatment is about 6,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Of course, according to customs regulations, the above two new crown special drugs cannot be taken out of the country, that is, they cannot be brought back to the mainland!
Are tourists eligible to return to the mainland to pass customs if they are positive?
If infected in Hong Kong, tourists will also worry about a problem: the tourist visa is only 7 days, these 7 days may not be enough for me to turn negative, will there be problems in entering and exiting?
In accordance with point 2 of the Notice on Measures to Optimize Personnel Exchanges between the Mainland, Hong Kong and Macao issued on 5 January, nucleic acid testing for all persons entering Hong Kong will no longer be carried out. Those whose health declarations are normal and there are no abnormalities in routine quarantine at customs ports may be allowed to enter the society. Persons with abnormal health declarations or fever and other symptoms shall be tested by the customs. If the result is positive, if it is an asymptomatic threat or mild case without serious underlying diseases, they can take home, home isolation or self-care and other situations to advocate going to a medical institution for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. If the result is negative, the Customs shall carry out routine quarantine in accordance with the "Border Health Quarantine Law of the People's Republic of China" and other laws and regulations.

Yimijun's personal understanding is that mainland tourists do not involve making an appointment when returning to the mainland, and naturally there will be no restrictions on cross-border borders, but because of the infection with the new crown and the on-site rapid test is positive, the gate will immediately arrange for you to go home for isolation until it turns negative.
