The epidemic of new pneumonia continued, and the government introduced a "restriction order" and restricted business in leisure venues. However, as the number of daily diagnoses in Hong Kong is still counted in double digits, it is natural for society to discuss whether it is necessary to "add spiciness." In addition to the fact that many companies are operating as usual and the wage earners are still commuting to work, it is also the focus of whether it is necessary to further tighten restrictions on restaurants and other venues.

Chen Zhisi said that this was only a personal prediction. The guild did not discuss whether it would restrict Hong Kong people from going to work in the future. (Profile picture)

May be restricted to work?

The non-official member of the Executive Council, Chen Zhisi, was interviewed by the media a few days ago and said, "If the next (epidemic) outbreak occurs in the office, will there be any restrictions on work? Everyone needs to be psychologically prepared" However, Chen Zhisi said that this was only a personal prediction. The guild did not discuss whether it would restrict Hong Kong people from going to work in the future.

Since the "Prohibition Order", members of the guild have spoken to the government policy from time to time. After the government announced the prohibition order, seven more members have publicly questioned the effectiveness of the measure. Professor Xu Shuchang also said that he had never discussed the "prohibition" with the government. The members of the guild are distracted, and the opinions of the ban and the can't help are different. This has caused the public to worry about whether the government's measures have been introduced without careful consideration. Restricting work is important, and the government must handle it carefully. The Chief Executive should discuss this with the Executive Council as soon as possible.

"Work at home" must be prepared in advance

Chen Zhisi said on a radio program on Sunday (5th) that there is still room for spicy food in Hong Kong. It does not rule out the requirement for non-essential companies to temporarily close and ban restaurants from eating at restaurants. As he said in his response to the media, the anti-adversity work needs to be "step by step", and the one-size-fits-all approach to staying at home may cause confusion. But in the next few steps how the government should go, the government has yet to let the society see the overall plan. The government first swayed the prohibition, and later Telegram misreported the news of the closure of the beauty salon. During the epidemic, the government created chaos, which was not ideal. The government must reserve enough time for the store to prepare, and it should also make a plan in advance for the different reactions of the society and make a few preparations.

Closing non-essential enterprises can reduce the flow of people in the community, and the relevant measures are worthy of government research. However, it is necessary to maintain business operations and keep employees employed, and at the same time to prevent employees from going out. This depends on how many companies the government can promote to switch to "working at home." Cloud work is limited by technology, and not every company can do it in real time. Sudden technological changes are also very challenging for general SMEs. The government should coordinate with the industry in advance. For example, the Economic and Trade Bureau and the Innovation and Technology Bureau can cooperate to provide technical support to SMEs in need to maintain a certain economic operation during the epidemic and strike a balance between economic and epidemic prevention. The authorities should also provide financial support as soon as possible to people who are on unpaid leave.

The measures are not good enough to go to work

On the one hand, the government should encourage enterprises to allow employees to work from home, on the other hand, citizens should also stay at home on their own. "Working at home" was originally intended to reduce the flow of people in the market, extend the social distance between people and cut off the chain of virus transmission. Working at home is not a magnificent holiday. The public should stay at home when feasible and reduce going out. Earlier, when a bank employee was working from home, he met with his colleagues and went on a selfie. This destroys the original intention of working at home, so that the flow of people in the market cannot be reduced. Secondly, traveling with colleagues may form a communication crisis. No matter how spicy the government measures are, the key is always to exercise self-discipline. If you are not necessary during the epidemic, do not go out.
