Xu Lejian: The arrangements are the same for immigrants, including officials
The relevant practice was implemented in June of this year. In yesterday’s press conference on the outbreak, Director Xu Lejian of the Center for Health Protection was repeatedly asked what the CT value limit in the “scope of healed cases” referred to. there is no fixed index to describe each case. The situation is unique and factors such as the date of the infection, the date of return to Hong Kong and the symptoms of the symptoms should be taken into consideration to assess whether it is a cured case.
Xu Lejian also reiterated that each person has a different downward trend in the amount of virus after infection, so he was unable to explain the relevant limitations. Regarding the CT value of Chen Maobo’s virus, Xu Lejian declined to disclose it, noting that he would not comment on individual cases and stated that the assessment procedures for recovery cases were the same for all immigrants, including government officials.
