No of Hubei residents visiting HK

[Simon H WANG]

Dear Sir/Madam 

         It is highly regrettable that the government still denies the entry of Hubei residents despite the fact that no Covid-19 infection case was reported in the province since May 19

        Here are the questions I hope the department could answer under the Code on Access to Information 

1) How many Hubei residents visited the city under a family visa (to stay no more than 6 months) in 2019? 

2) How many Hubei residents visited the city under a tourist visa in 2019? 

3) How many Hubei residents are currently holding a valid family visa to HK? 

4) How many Hubei residents are currently holding a valid tourist visa to HK? 

5) From May to June 2020, how many Mainland residents visited HK holding family and tourist visas respectively?

6) In what ways is the department involved in formulating the policy on denying entry of Hubei residents? 

Thanks in advance for your information.

Yours sincerely 

Simon Wang
