On April 7, the passenger flow at the Hong Kong International Airport was scarce, and it took a long time for sporadic passengers to enter the pick-up lobby. From the early morning of March 25, the Hong Kong SAR Government implemented anti-epidemic measures such as "all non-Hong Kong residents arriving by plane from overseas are not allowed to enter Hong Kong" and other anti-epidemic measures. It was originally scheduled to be implemented until April 7. In view of the severe global epidemic situation, 75% of the newly confirmed cases in Hong Kong in the past two weeks were imported or close contacts, so the SAR Government decided to extend the measures to restrict entry and transit until further notice. According to data released by the Hong Kong Immigration Department, in the past few days, there were only more than 800 people entering Hong Kong through the airport every day, a drop of more than 80% from March 24, and a drop of more than 98% from the normal period.
