Last updated: 2020-02-01 20:55The number of confirmed cases of pneumonia in Wuhan in Hong Kong continues to rise. The government announced earlier that residents of Hubei Province and anyone who has been to Hubei Province in the past 14 days will not be allowed to enter Hong Kong, but rely on the truthful declaration of tourists. The Liberal Party today (1st) wrote to the Chief Executive, Mrs Lam Cheng Yuet, stating that the current measures have not blocked visitors from other provinces and cities in the Mainland. The epidemic prevention effect is in doubt and the government is urged to suspend the entry of all mainlanders.

Honorary Chairman of the Liberal Party, Zhou Liangshuyi, Chairman Liu Jianyi, Legislative Councillors Tian Beijun and Zhong Guobin, signed a letter today and urged the government to suspend the entry of all mainlanders. The signing letter mentioned that the pneumonia epidemic in Wuhan has developed rapidly and the number of confirmed cases in Hong Kong has continued to rise. Although the Hong Kong Government has announced that it has banned all residents of Hubei Province and those who have visited Hubei Province in the past 14 days, the Liberal Party believes that the measures depend Passengers declare themselves honestly, and because the mainland population is highly mobile, they are worried that the measures will not effectively block visitors from other provinces in the Mainland, and the epidemic prevention effect is questionable.
The Liberal Party proposes that the government should immediately suspend Mainland tourists entering Hong Kong before the epidemic situation improves to reduce the risk of virus spread. Hong Kong people returning from the Mainland to Hong Kong can continue to enter as usual, but they need to be handled through special channels. They are urged to quarantine themselves for 14 days and decide whether to conduct medical surveillance as needed. At the same time, the Liberal Party has called on the public to refrain from going to areas where the epidemic has been confirmed in the Mainland unless necessary.
Wuhan pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus has spread to Hong Kong, with a total of 13 confirmed cases so far.
