She said: “The current traffic light system does not work, and there are disagreements within the government on how to proceed.
“Although the situation is still uncertain and complicated, the government must provide support to our aviation and tourism industries to save jobs.”

Hong Kong requires civil servants to be vaccinated or pay for new coronavirus testing
Hong Kong government employees who have not been vaccinated will soon have to pay for regular Covid-19 testing.
These measures, which also apply to education and health workers, were announced on Monday to persuade more people to get vaccinated.
City leader Lin Zhengyue’e said: “If not vaccinating and helping society achieve herd immunity is purely a personal choice, then a responsible government should not allow or tolerate this situation.”
Hong Kong has not seen any local coronavirus cases for 56 consecutive days. Life in the global financial center has basically returned to normal, but strict travel restrictions still exist, and all arrivals need to be quarantined in hotels.
The authorities are dissatisfied with the initial slowness of vaccination, although this number has improved in recent months after various companies announced a series of benefits for vaccinated people, including a lottery prize for an apartment worth about £720,000.
