The number of newly confirmed cases in Hong Kong today (10th) is 16, with a total of 990 cases, close to the 1,000 mark. Compared with the second wave of outbreaks brought by people returning from Hong Kong in March, there were dozens of daily confirmed cases, and about 10 new confirmed cases per day in the past few days. Director Zhang Zhujun indicated at the press conference that although the number has dropped, it cannot be said that the epidemic is suppressed, and there may be no detection of symptoms. She also pointed out that many people were observed out of the street, because during the Easter holiday, the public was urged to maintain social distance and avoid unnecessary gatherings. Think carefully before you travel.

However, the reporter visited Sham Shui Po District in the afternoon and found that there were a lot of people on the street. Among them, there were many men coming and going along Aliao Street. In addition to the shops selling set-top boxes and the sales stalls, more than 20 onlookers were standing. As for the "special sale city", which is always known for the parity of goods, more than a thousand feet of space is filled with goods. The number of guests in the store is nearly one hundred. The reporter tried to enter the store and needed to penetrate the gap between the crowds. Picking goods, the flow of people is similar to normal days. The bus stops in Sham Shui Po District are also long queues, with many passengers waiting.

Some people said that because they would wear masks and wash their hands, they were not worried about the epidemic. "If you are shocked, you won't be out of the street." But you will go home after shopping, and you won't eat on the street. You have to take off your mask. Some merchants revealed that compared with the initial stage of the outbreak, the number of people in the streets of Sham Shui Po has increased significantly in recent days, or it may be because today is a holiday and the number of newly confirmed diagnoses has fallen in the past few days.
