自由黨就「有關粵港健康碼互通」進行問卷調查

六成有回鄉卡及智能手機的受訪者希望逐步或全面通關

八成上述市民支持粵港健康碼互通　當中七成贊同包含打卡追蹤功能

（新聞稿‧2020年10月28日）雖然中港兩地疫情已持續受控，過去只出現個別零星個案，但在有效疫苗推出前，市民需學習「與疫共存」的新常態，並且逐步恢復社交及經濟活動。中港兩地一向有頻繁交往，推行「粵港健康碼」有助社會恢復正常的跨境人員往來及經濟活動。自由黨日前就粵港健康碼互通一事，於10月16日至26日進行「有關粵港健康碼互通」問卷調查。今日（10月28日）自由黨黨魁鍾國斌議員、黨主席張宇人議員、黨副主席邵家輝議員、全國政協委員易志明議員及港區全國人大代表陳曉峰共同發表結果及就結果向政府提倡相關方案。

自由黨透過電話隨機抽樣訪問約4,000多位18歲以上人士，其中同時持有有效港澳居民來往內地通行証及擁有一部或以上可安裝應用程式（Apps）的智能手機的受訪者中，6成希望逐步或全面通關（見表一），顯示市民殷切期望可以盡快通關，恢復兩地往來及其他經濟民生活動。

而贊成恢復通關的市民當中，有8成表示支持有粵港健康碼互通（見表二），當中有7成更贊同健康碼包含打卡追蹤功能（見表三）。結果顯示受訪者並不介意健康碼作為申報用途及加入打卡追蹤功能，市民出入境後可豁免14日隔離檢疫更方便兩地往來，而且明白疫情爆發時能有效追蹤病毒來源，預防病毒擴散，這點對疫情防控起莫大作用。

支持「粵港健康碼互通」的受訪者當中，6成人贊成把數據交由第三者平台公司獨立管理（見表四），顯示市民較關注私隱問題。於數據管理方面，自由黨有三項建議如下：

1. 數據必須於香港境內儲存及管理，以釋除公眾疑慮

2. 數據管理方必須嚴格遵守現行私隱條例的規範

3. 建議業界訪客的數據先交由代表或管轄該業界的第三方遵循《個人資料（私隱）條例》有關要求管理，如旅發局或飲食、零售等相關行業的代表機構等，在有公共衛生安全需要下才交給有關當局跟進

就以上的問卷調查結果，自由黨促請政府盡快落實粵港健康碼的具體時間表，讓港人可早日往來粵港兩地探親、旅遊及經商，重啟民生和經濟。

"Guangdong-Hong Kong Health Code Sharing" Survey by Liberal Party:

60% of Respondents with Home Visit Permit and Smartphones

Hope for Progressive or Complete Border Crossing Reopening;

80% Support Sharing System Launch,

among them 70% Support Inclusion of Check-in Tracking Function

(Hong Kong, 28 October 2020) Covid-19 has been under control in Mainland China and Hong Kong with only sporadic cases reported recently, but before the launch of effective vaccines, citizens have to adapt to the new normal of "coexisting with the disease" and gradually resume social and economic activities. There have been frequent exchanges between Mainland China and Hong Kong. The implementation of the "Guangdong-Hong Kong Health Code" will help the society to resume normal cross-border personnel exchanges and economic activities. The Liberal Party conducted a questionnaire survey on Guangdong-Hong Kong Health Code Sharing from 16 to 26 October. Today on 28 October, Liberal Party Leader Felix Chung Kwok-pan, Chairman Tommy Cheung Yu-yan, Vice-chairman Peter Shiu Ka-fai, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Frankie Yick Chi-ming and Hong Kong Deputy to the National People's Congress Nick Chan Hiu-fung jointly announced the results and advocated relevant proposals to the government.

The Liberal Party randomly interviewed over 4,000 respondents aged over 18 by telephone. Among the respondents who have a valid Home Visit Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macau residents and one or more smartphones that can be installed with Apps, 60% hope for the progressive or complete reopening of border crossing (See Table 1), showing that the public is eagerly expecting border crossing reopening as soon as possible to resume exchanges between the two places and other economic and livelihood activities.

Among the responding citizens who support the reopening of border crossing, 80% support the launch of Guangdong-Hong Kong Health Code Sharing (See Table 2). Among them, 70% agree that the health code should include a check-in tracking function (See Table 3). The results show that the respondents do not mind the use of the health code for reporting purposes. They also do not mind the addition of a check-in tracking function for convenient travelling between the two places with the exemption from a 14-day quarantine after clearance. They understand that the function helps with the effective tracking of virus sources in the event of an outbreak to prevent virus spread, which is important for disease control and prevention.

Among the respondents who support the launch of Guangdong-Hong Kong Health Code, 60% agree that the data should be independently managed by a third-party company platform (See Table 4), showing that the public is relatively concerned about privacy issues. The Liberal Party has three recommendations for data management as follows:

1. The data must be stored and managed within Hong Kong’s territory to remove public misgivings

2. The data manager must strictly abide by current privacy regulations

3. Travellers’ data should be first handled by a third party representing or governing the respective industry, complying with relevant requirements of the "The Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance", such as the Tourism Board or representative organizations of related industries such as food and beverage as well as retail. Data should be handed over to relevant authorities for follow-up only for public health safety.

According to the survey results, the Liberal Party urges the government to finalize the timetable of Guangdong-Hong Kong Health Code implementation as soon as possible, so that Hong Kong people can travel between Guangdong and Hong Kong for visiting relatives, travelling and business to resume livelihood activities and revive the economy.
