    Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu said in a meeting with the media before attending the Executive Council on the 10th that the SAR government intends to discuss with pharmaceutical manufacturers to set self-regulatory restrictions
    when selling a certain type of drugs in pharmacies.
     
    Mr Lee said the SAR government and the public healthcare system have sufficient medical supplies, especially fever-reducing medicines
    .
    At the same time, the HKSAR Government intends to negotiate with pharmaceutical manufacturers to set self-regulatory restrictions on the sale of certain types of drugs in pharmacies, and hopes to reach a joint agreement
    with pharmaceutical manufacturers and pharmacies in this regard.
     
    Li Jiachao pointed out that at present, the possible problems of antipyretic drugs will be dealt with first, and other drugs will decide what measures
    to take according to the actual situation.
    He said that if necessary, it would be dealt with
    through legislative means.
     
    Hong Kong and the mainland have achieved the first phase of quarantine-free "customs clearance" on the 8th, the outside world is concerned about when the high-speed rail will open, in this regard, Li Jiachao said that knowing that everyone has a strong demand for high-speed rail services, the SAR government is in close contact with the relevant authorities, and has deployed high-speed rail operation preparations, especially high-speed rail drivers, has done training and rehearsals, and strive to provide high-speed rail services
    on January 15.
     
    As for whether the 48-hour negative nucleic acid certificate will be changed to a negative antigen rapid test, Li Jiachao said that nucleic acid testing is a more risky and controllable method for the epidemic situation in the two places to ensure that there will be no epidemic risk due to "customs clearance", and will review the situation in the future to see if there is room for adjustment
    .
     
    Mr Lee mentioned that Hong Kong has exempted children under the age of 3 from entering Hong Kong from the Mainland, and they do not need a negative certificate to enter Hong Kong, but they have not been exempted from entering the Mainland from Hong Kong, and Hong Kong testing providers have agreed to provide nucleic acid testing services
    for these children.
