He pointed out that the isolation camp has no emergency support services and immediate help methods. He is worried that when an emergency occurs, it will be difficult for people in isolation to find assistance.
He hopes that the government will face up to the problem of the inter-departmental coordination mechanism, and believes that the Department of Health, the Centre for Health Protection, and the Civil Security Forces should send more manpower to collaborate to speed up the provision of instructions and improve the response efficiency.
