3 hours ago
The number of confirmed cases of pneumonia in Wuhan in Hong Kong has continued to rise.
After the Hong Kong government has refused to respond to the public's request for "closure", it has finally announced partial closures last night (26th), which will restrict residents of Hubei Province and any visit to Hubei in the past 14 days People from the province entered Hong Kong.
The Secretary for Food and Health, Chen Zhaoshi, admitted at the RTHK program that the measures rely on passengers to provide their own information, and the accuracy is "always 100% the case," but said that if passengers did not report truthfully, there would be penalties. Regarding the public's request for "comprehensive customs clearance", Chen said that he should consider whether it is feasible, whether it can be done immediately and whether it can achieve the best results.
Chen Zhaoshi said that Hubei Province is the most affected area. Banning local residents from entering Hong Kong is the first step. The government will meet again today to discuss comprehensive measures and will continue to monitor the epidemic situation in other provinces and cities. She said that it is currently stipulated that non-Hong Kong residents are not allowed to use the "e-Channel" when entering the country, and all of them must go through the counter for formalities, so residents from Hubei Province will have endorsements. And whether the passenger has been to Hubei Province in the past 14 days, she has to rely on the passenger to provide her own information, but she has since said that “a lot of people will fill out health declarations arbitrarily, and may not provide accurate information. Fever was reported and fever was detected by body temperature. She admits that the accuracy of self-declaration is "never 100%," but the government has to go one step ahead.
She also emphasized that the government has multiple lines of defence. When a passenger is unwell, in addition to the health declaration, there are also temperature detections at various ports. If this first line of defense is passed, the other line of defense is "If you are comfortable, you will always be a doctor." It is said that except for public hospitals, private hospitals, and private doctors, if suspected cases are found, they will be notified immediately. If it is within the scope of monitoring, it will be immediately sent to a public hospital for isolation.
As for Hong Kong people returning from Hubei to Hong Kong, they are not subject to restrictions. However, Chen Zhaoshi emphasized that they will receive health monitoring at the port. The port health department staff will also register the phone number and address of the relevant person to understand their health history. It will also depend on their health. The situation determines whether isolation is needed, and the government will discuss implementation details later.
Asked that the government had not stopped the high-speed rail at the request of the public, Chen Zhaoshi said that Wuhan had been closed for a long time, and that the airport had set up a health declaration. The high-speed rail was already studying the trial of electronic declaration. Instead, it should not underestimate the overall work. The complexity of this is "easy to talk about, and to be coordinated by all units in order to be in place." She also said that the government has been waiting for it. When there is no confirmed case in Hong Kong, the emergency response plan has been upgraded to "severe" level, describing the government's epidemic prevention work It is "walking before the epidemic."
Even though he had a cough at the press conference in the past few days, Chen Zhaoshi, who had not put on a mask, was finally interviewed wearing a mask. The host asked many times whether he would call on all people to wear masks. Chen Zhaoshi kept “circling” constantly. He only said that it is necessary to increase the supply of masks first. If the public thinks it is necessary, they can wear masks to protect themselves. Hygiene is also very important. Prevention and control measures should be multi-pronged. The government has extended school holidays and cancelled large-scale activities, reminding the public that staying at home can also reduce the risk of community transmission. She reiterated that wearing masks has nothing to do with the Ban on Masks Law. She also said that the government is also concerned about the supply of masks. Two weeks ago, she had discussed with suppliers to understand the source of the supplies. It is expected that a number of masks will arrive in Hong Kong this week. And other places seeking mask supplies.
Regarding the public's concern about the conversion of Fanling Huiming Village to an "isolated residence", Chen Zhaoshi said that Huiming Village is a reserve isolation site, emphasizing that it is still undecided whether to allow medical staff or close contacts without symptoms, but said Confirmed patients will be accepted. The Department of Health will explain to the public the practice of segregating venues, and it is stated that some people returning to Hong Kong from the Mainland will also segregate themselves at their residences.
