The longer three-week rule was imposed after more virulent variants of the coronavirus were reported by authorities in South Africa and Britain.

本港疫情持續,確診數字今(1 日)回升破萬宗。惟彭博今引消息指,港府傾向在 11 月國際金融領袖投資峰會和國際七人欖球賽前,取消酒店隔離的做法,以展示香港已恢復正常運行。行政長官辦公室回應傳媒查詢時則未有正面回應,僅稱政府正採取「不躺平」的防疫方針,控制確診數字、減重症、死亡個案,及保護長者、幼童等高風險群組,「繼續採取精準措施管控疫情」。

相關報道引知情人士指,政府內部對 11 月前放寬隔離意見分歧,部分官員持不同意見,認為目前確診激增的情況下應收緊限制以遏制疫情,盡快與內地通關。行政長官辦公室發言人重申,政府維持五點整體防疫政策。包括「不躺平」,持續控制確診數字,更好管理風險和提升應變能力,防止醫療系統超出負荷能力;減重症和減死亡;保護高風險人士,包括「一老一幼」和長期症患者;以科學精準的方法識別不同風險級別人士,容許最多的日常活動和人數;平衡風險和經濟動力。

發言人指,政府將繼續採取精準措施管控疫情,呼籲香港社會共同努力,鼓勵長者早日接種疫苗,家長亦應盡快安排子女接種疫苗,確保他們得到應有保護。
