Are you kidding, now is the best time to go on a trip! There will be THOUSANDS of mainland tourists NOT THERE

Mainland visitors to HK are down to 19.5K and 16K on the first two border control days (Jan 30, 31). The few days before this, it was 27-29K daily

It's not enough for some (edit: most actually. Polls show 80% people responding want a closed border), and the new hospital union plans to strike on Monday

In response, the govt plans to control further, but still no full border closure

Unfortunately the problem si the govt won't negotiate with the people, just tell them what's best for them, and do whatever they can under Xi's thumb. I mean we've seen this since June, and this is just an extension of it.

My opinion on this is a full closure is unnecessary at this point, and would lead to severe issues in daily life, if logistics and food supplies are shut down. I think people are being way too drastic. Shutting out all tourists is a good idea, and be strict with temperature checks and travel histories of everyone else.
