The new corona outbreak has persisted in Hong Kong for nearly three years, and the Hong Kong government has used methods such as mandatory building inspections and inspections to identify invisible patients in the community. However, Ho Pak-leung, director of the Center for Infection and Infectious Diseases of the University of Hong Kong, said today on the radio show (12th) that the current epidemic situation is severe and confirmed patients can be isolated at home. , that that is, the authorities have accepted the building or there may be a transmission, so it is recommended to cancel the mandatory tests in the buildings and the gated inspection.
Ho explained that mandatory building testing played a more important role in the early phase of the outbreak, which could disrupt the chain of transmission as soon as possible in Hong Kong’s crowded environment. However, at present, there are 70,000 to 80,000 new confirmed cases in Hong Kong every week and using wastewater testing as an indicator to control the outbreak “has no effect.” In addition, the government has allowed people infected with the virus to conduct home quarantine, which means that the authorities have accepted the possibility of vertical or horizontal transmission in buildings and believe that the risk is controllable, therefore it believes that mandatory building inspections and closed mandatory inspections should be canceled to avoid aggravating the public’s anti-epidemic fatigue.
Furthermore, in terms of injections, He Bailiang believes that the focus of Hong Kong’s anti-epidemic work is still vaccination. He said the vaccination rate of adults is high and the risk of serious illness after infection is similar to that of the flu. Therefore, the government should try to increase the vaccination rate of the elderly to prevent “one size fits all” from affecting other people who have been vaccinated. He also believes that from the end of this month the grace period between the second and third injection for people aged 12 and over will be reduced to five months.
