[16:05] The reporter asked why it is possible to relax religious gatherings indoors, but not to relax political gatherings, as well as opportunities for outdoor meetings. Xu Yingwei said that he has had many discussions with religious leaders to balance security and assembly. Ordinary social activities can be slowly recovered when conditions permit. For example, fitness facilities, the room can be enlarged to a distance of 1.5 meters, and more than one coach can be used for seven people. Chen Zhaoshi reiterated that from the perspective of public health, the local communication chain is not interrupted, and any large-scale activities are not suitable, not just meetings.
[15:40] Asked why the four premises extended the restriction for only 7 days, but the restriction was extended for 14 days. Is there political consideration? Take a short time to evaluate.

There are three family groups in the local area recently, and there is reason to believe that the local communication chain is still there.
[15:21] Xu Yingwei:
The religious community has always supported the government's epidemic prevention work. In the past few weeks, the epidemic situation has become more stable. I hope the government can allow religious activities to resume. The group agreed to set an upper limit. Half of the people can be placed in the place. If 20 people can be placed, only 10 people can be placed at present, but it is not allowed to eat and drink. There is no restriction on receiving the Eucharist. At the same time, you must bring a mask and keep an appropriate distance.
The LCSD will reopen recreational facilities on May 21, such as 30 swimming pools, dance / fitness rooms / barbecue areas; on May 23, it will reopen 15 beaches.
[15:10] Chen Zhaoshi: Concerned about the diagnosis of three people in a local infection group of a family, worrying that there is a local transmission chain, Hong Kong ’s goal of eradicating disease is unrealistic, and will continue to relax its policy.
The premises closed under the requirements of Chapter 599F of the Regulations must be extended to close for another seven days to May 28, including bathrooms, party rooms, nightclubs or nightclubs, and karaoke establishments.
Maintain the current social distance maintenance measures. Restaurants and listed premises will continue to be open from May 22 to June 4 and 14. Some industries will fine-tune.
In the fitness center, there should not be more than eight people in the group training or classroom including the coach, and more than eight people, to ensure that the distance between people is 1.5 meters
Public entertainment places, entertainment game stations, and game machine facilities shall not be allowed to stay more than eight people, and residents in large places shall not exceed half of the designed capacity.
The "restriction order" that prohibits group gatherings of more than eight people in public places will be extended to June 4.
Some religious gatherings will be exempted. Exempted worship places include churches, Taoist temples, temples, etc., but they cannot provide food.
Chen Zhaoshi urged the public to seek medical treatment and test as soon as possible if the symptoms are mild. People with medical symptoms can go to the general outpatient clinic for monitoring services. If necessary, they can go to the emergency department for consultation. Private doctors also have plans to arrange for patients to receive free virus testing. The HA has studied "additional points" to facilitate the return of sample bottles, and it can also be delivered by express delivery service. There are still sporadic local cases and the global epidemic situation is repeated, so Hong Kong must take preventive measures.
[14:05] It is reported that the government will announce later that karaoke, party rooms, bathrooms and nightclubs must be closed for an additional week until May 28; the eight-person limit will be extended for two weeks until June 4. day.
According to the news, there were no new cases of new pneumonia diagnosed this morning, and the CHP will not hold an outbreak press conference today.
[10:04] When talking about the resumption of class, Lin Zheng said that unless there is a large-scale local outbreak, even if there are sporadic cases in the local area, the class will resume as scheduled.
[09:48] Lin Zheng quoted experts suggesting to strengthen the test, because there are still hidden infections in the community. At present, Hong Kong has been tested 190,000 times. At present, the Hong Kong Health Protection Center and the Hospital Authority do more than 2,000 tests daily. The current goal is to expand the daily test volume of 4,500 to 7,000. The Department of Health will purchase new equipment, and the University of Hong Kong and the Chinese University will be granted funds to purchase equipment to increase the amount of detection. Working hours will be extended before the equipment is added. The priority testing group includes airport workers and residential care homes for the elderly.
[09:45] Regarding anti-epidemic measures, Lin Zheng said that the current strategy is to prevent overseas imports and prevent outbreaks in the community. He also said that it is not practical to have no local infection cases for 28 consecutive days. She said that it would be announced as soon as possible, and referred to the meeting of expert advisory panel held last Saturday, which believed that the status quo was maintained but there was no need to tighten the existing arrangements immediately. It will be announced by the Food and Health Bureau later.
