Xu Shuchang: The social distance limit should be tightened immediately

Xu Shuchang, an expert advisor to the government’s anti-epidemic medicine and a lecture professor in the Department of Respiratory System of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, pointed out that there were more than 10 local cases in three days, and the source of the five cases was unclear. The situation is worrying and a great warning sign. Tighten the restrictions on social and high-risk places as soon as possible to cut off the chain of communication as soon as possible.

Looking back at the last time when the gathering restrictions were relaxed, the indoor number limit was completely removed, and the outdoor limit was 50 people group gathering. Xu Shuchang believed that the indoor number limit was too loose, because the risk of indoors was higher than outdoor. He mentioned that removing the mask places such as restaurants is a high-risk. He suggested that the number of restaurants and seats should be adjusted to be as strict as in March and April. Restaurants, bars, etc. can no longer limit the number of people. Large-scale events are also quite risky. The tightening of social control should be implemented at the same time as the flow control of large-scale events in order to be effective. He believes that the government should seriously consider it.

Today, there are secondary school students diagnosed, and there are many primary and secondary school students’ family members who have been diagnosed or initially diagnosed. Xu Shuchang believes that it is appropriate to require schools with students to be diagnosed to suspend classes. infected.
