"HK's new health minister Lo Chung-mau announced that from Friday all #Covid patients under home quarantine will have to wear an electronic bracelet in order to prevent them from leaving home.
Lo also said the government "recommends" to partially adopt the mainland-style health code, by turning the LeaveHomeSafe code red for PCR-positive residents to prevent them from all public venues and giving a yellow code to overseas arrivals under mandatory quarantine.
Lo said by adopting the health code system, the gov will also consider replacing part of the 7-day mandatory hotel quarantine with health monitor at home. But they cannot enter high-risk venues eg hospitals and elderly homes and are prevented from high-risk mass-off activities.
Asked whether the new measures will drive more people to hide their RAT positive results from the gov, Lo said "not reporting is contravening the law".
But for now, reporting RAT positive results to the gov remains a voluntary decision. Not sure which law Lo was referring to.
Lo emphasized that the new codes are meant to prevented infected persons from leaving home and entering public venues and are not designed for real-time movement tracking.Lo also said the government does not have any consideration for city-wide lock down at all. "
And a warning is that you decide to stay here or you are forced to, your one and only future is DECADE LONG LOCKDOWNS.
Maybe at this point shipping off to Malaysia or Taiwan like Syrian refugees then deporting to the UK seems like an option.
That's exactly what happened to the Cambodians during Khmer Rouge. They ran all the way to Thailand, get jailed and bail.
Too bad the Chinese people probably have no idea what's going on in Sri Lanka or they might be inspired.
They have. It's even reported here. It just does not matter. You don't have "bugmen" in Sri Lanka unlike the 10 or so states next to China.
One good thing about being a Third World Shithole is that the government can't afford to have a standing army to crush any rebellion that may rise.
chinese citizens, flying out of china, with an unacceptable reason, are having their passports cut up by the CCP.
In Hong Kong you can go out but you cannot come back.
So you had a window to be safe than sorry.
Yeah same with Khmer Rouge, the Maoist vs Nationalists civil war, Lenin, Hitler etc.
