  This ("customs clearance") work has entered a new stage today, because the Chief Secretary for Administration has led a government team today, including the Secretary for Security, the Secretary for Food and Health, the Secretary for Innovation and Technology, and related policy bureaux and departments. My colleagues went to Shenzhen to prepare for a docking meeting with Guangdong Province.

Because we opened a land port, it involved Guangdong Province.

Of course, because of the port issue, representatives from the Central Customs Administration and other relevant departments and municipal government came to the meeting to discuss the details of the implementation of the "customs clearance" arrangement.

As of 9 o'clock this morning, the latest figures have more than 440,000 citizens have applied for registered accounts.

There is no one in line at the moment, and the Internet is very smooth.

  Now we have also carried out the third dose of vaccination. The current situation is that anyone who has been vaccinated with two doses of Kexing vaccine for more than six months can get (the third dose of vaccine), regardless of what the person belongs to. Group, what occupation.

However, so far the vaccination of Forbitux has only been applied to some high-risk groups, such as the elderly, chronically ill patients or people at higher risk of infection.

A total of 260,000 people have been given the third shot of the two vaccines.

We hope that the goal will be to expand the third dose of Forbitux vaccination program at the beginning of January (2022).
