The Hong Kong Association of Beauty and Health Professionals and the Hong Kong Association of Tuina Physiotherapy Professionals criticized the employment protection plan for “not paying close attention to the land”, believing that employment protection is not enough to protect employees, and describing that “employment protection” must also “protect jobs”. This is because if the employer uses unpaid leave to deal with it, the employee may not be eligible for the subsidy. He believes that it should be paid directly to the employee to fill the loopholes. I hope the government will face the problem squarely.
The two associations urge the government to launch the third round of anti-epidemic funds as soon as possible, and should cover self-employed and freelance workers. It is recommended that self-employed persons without MPF accounts should be given a one-time allowance of $7,500 and a maximum of $7,500 per person per month. 9,000 yuan "Unemployment Cash Allowance" for six months.

[11:16] Yuan Guoyong, a government expert consultant and chair professor of the Department of Microbiology of the University of Hong Kong, criticized in a commercial TV program that the government's relaxation of many epidemic prevention measures in mid-June was a big mistake. He explained that more than 2,800 people were diagnosed in the third wave of the epidemic in Hong Kong, mainly local cases, which are believed to be caused by exemption from testing. In June, the Hong Kong government relaxed epidemic prevention measures. The citizens were lax and the streets were crowded. About one adult did not. Wearing a mask is obviously a big mistake. He emphasized that the first thing to do is to do a good job of checkpoints. Even if there are fish that slip through the net, they should not be spread in the community.
