The Chief Executive said the government would strive to achieve a full resumption of normal travel between Hong Kong and the mainland within a short period. "The goal is to get back as quickly as possible to the pre-epidemic normal life," Lee said, "We want cooperation between the two sides[of Hong Kong and the mainland] back on track." He said all the relevant border control points were in good operation and the public could travel smoothly. A total of 9,000 travellers left Hong Kong via Lok Ma Chau to enter China as of 11am on Sunday, security minister Chris Tang Ping-keung said. According to Xinhua, Shenzhen and Hong Kong will review the first phase of border reopening in a week.
