Rules for vaccinated staff relaxed

The Government today announced its decision to maintain the current social distancing measures and specified that premises' staff who have completed a COVID-19 vaccination course will not be required to undergo regular testing.   The Food & Health Bureau pointed out that the number of local confirmed cases has declined to a lower level.   However, it explained that to continue containing the spread of the disease and to strive for zero case as soon as possible, taking into account the pressure for potential rebound of the epidemic brought by earlier relaxation of social distancing measures and the frequent gatherings among the public during the long holiday, the existing social distancing measures must be maintained for two more weeks.   Noting that the COVID-19 Vaccination Programme has been smoothly implemented for a while, the bureau said some staff of the catering business premises or scheduled premises have completed the vaccination course, ie after 14 days following the administration of two vaccine doses for production of antibodies.   The bureau stressed that in view of the protection brought by the vaccination, the relevant staff will not need to undergo regular testing starting from the 14th day upon completion of a COVID-19 vaccination course. These staff are advised to keep their records as a proof of vaccination.   Such measures will take effect on April 15 until April 28.   The bureau emphasised that if the epidemic situation remains stable, starting from April 29, in line with the new direction in fighting the pandemic as announced by the Chief Executive earlier, the Government will adjust social distancing measures with a "vaccine bubble" as the basis.   The Government will liaise with the trades and announce the details later, the bureau added.
