Last updated: 2020-01-29 12:38The outbreak of a new coronavirus related to Wuhan pneumonia continues to spread. In the past few days, there have been voices in the community asking the government to close the customs, and even medical staff have threatened to strike. However, some public hospital doctors have stated that they will not support the strike.
The Hong Kong Medical Association President Ho Chung-ping said in his personal capacity that he had "a lot of reservations" about the strike. He believed that at this stage, medical staff should be more careful about their positions and take into account the needs of patients. He went on to point out that, in response to the government ’s recent partial clearance, he believed that the measures should be relied upon and the strike should not be decided at the outset.

He Zhongping, president of the Hong Kong Medical Association, said in an interview that half of the members of the association were medical staff in the hospital. In his personal capacity, he claimed that he "has great reservations" about the strike. He believes that at this stage medical staff should be more committed to their posts and take care of patients. He pointed out that he understands that strikes are aimed at measures requiring customs clearance. However, the government has announced partial closures a few days ago and believes that depending on the effectiveness of the new measures, strikes should not be decided at the outset.

Hong Kong people who have been to the Mainland need to declare
For many people who are concerned about the Lunar New Year or a large number of Hong Kong people returning to Hong Kong from the Mainland, He Zhongping believes that it is necessary to make a declaration in this regard. He believes that it is necessary to record the areas they visit and the people they have contacted in order to track them in the future. He confessed that it was difficult for some people to propose compulsory quarantine. "All people are quarantined." And compulsory quarantine at home is difficult to monitor. In response to a series of measures announced by the government, he revealed that the Medical Association will hold an emergency meeting to discuss or discuss it at the regular meeting next Tuesday (February 4).
