Previously, Hong Kong had kept more than 80 new confirmed cases in a single day for several consecutive days, and the number of new cases in a single day had repeatedly reached new highs, and the proportion of cases with unknown local origin was also high.
Xu Shuchang, expert consultant to the Anti-Epidemic Steering Committee of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government and Respiratory Department of Professor Stanley Ho of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, said in an interview with a reporter from the China News Agency on the day 29 that, judging from the situation in recent days, the number of confirmed cases in the fourth wave of epidemics has “increased So fast”, it has now increased to triple digits, and the proportion of cases of unknown origin is high, which which reflects the existence of many invisible chains of transmission in the local community. Therefore, the RAE government must tighten the epidemic prevention measures as soon as possible, hoping to control this wave of epidemics as soon as possible.
Xu Shuchang suggested that SAR government officials should take the lead in working from home, and private companies should also have the same requirements for employees; karaoke must be closed temporarily, concerts must be suspended; restaurants, restaurants, etc. They should be closed before 10 pm to reduce the flow of people into the community. Assemble and cut the chain of community transmission.

At all levels of the community, the proportion of cases of unknown origin is also higher.
He noted that he believes that the SAR government will take some stricter measures so that the Hong Kong epidemic is not as uncontrollable as some countries in Europe and the United States. However, if the epidemic does not “repeat and repeat”, we should consider adopting a new national corona virus test. He and many people in the medical profession are willing to work with the RAE government to plan, participate and promote; in addition, the SAR government should tighten “external protection” measures, including the obligation to quarantine immigrants in designated places and take transport, etc.
Pan Pei-chuan, president of the Hong Kong Federation of Medical Personnel, noted in an interview that the most serious aspect of the fourth wave of the epidemic is that there may already be many invisible patients in the community and known infections from medical personnel in hospitals, and infections of medical personnel are often more serious. The situation will arise from time to time.
Poon Pei-chuan also urged that Hong Kong’s “import prevention” isolation measures be tightened, and the feasibility of national testing of the novel coronavirus should be considered, because many citizens think there is such a demand. He urged the SAR government to consider the wishes of the majority of the people and make better decisions for the medium and long-term interests of Hong Kong. (End up)
