Last update date: 2020-04-30 18:41The epidemic of new coronaviruses has gradually eased, and Hong Kong has been diagnosed for zero for five consecutive days. The four-day Buddha's birthday and Labor Day holiday began, and many people took advantage of the holiday to go out to the beach. Although the LCSD has reiterated that its beaches have been temporarily suspended due to the epidemic situation and life-saving services have been suspended, public beaches have been crowded recently, and some people have even ignored the LCSD ’s notice of closing the beaches and frequently entered the sea to swim and break into rushing facilities.
Although life-saving services are not provided, lifeguards must keep their hands in order to maintain order. They need to persuade citizens of the beach to abide by the restriction order, but in fact they have no law enforcement power, and they feel that deterrence is limited. ". Deng Zi'an, chairman of the Hong Kong Government Union of Life Savers, also talked about the plight of lifeguards: "If someone drowns, shall we save?"

Under the new crown epidemic, the LCSD closed the public beach and said it would not provide life-saving services. However, a large number of citizens still "trap" the beach during the holidays. The Golden Beach, Clear Water Bay Second Beach, and Repulse Bay are all surging. Not only is the "one needle inserted into the beach" on the beach, the water is also very lively, and the waves are splashing. .
The laughter on the beach made many lifeguards squeeze sweat. In the epidemic, although they do not need to provide life-saving services, they still need to go to the beach to perform their duties to maintain order. Deng Zian said that although it is only April, the students are not going to school, and the number of citizens on the beach has reached the peak of the summer vacation. "The summer vacation LCSD will additionally invite quarterly lifeguards with sufficient staff. A beach is at least 30 Many people are on duty, but there are only 3 or 4 lifeguards under the new coronary pneumonia to maintain beach order. "
Taking the Second Beach of Clear Water Bay as an example, Deng Zhi said that 34 lifeguards are required to be on duty when the summer vacation is open. There are also people on the observation deck. There are lifeguards on the sea dinghy. If someone is drowning, the lifeguard can ensure immediate attention. Save people, "None now."

At present, many lifeguards do not intentionally wear uniforms with the word "lifeguard" on duty, so as not to disguise the public by misunderstanding that there is a lifeguard service on the beach, and they are even more unscrupulous to play in the water. On the beach, a broadcast is broadcast in Cantonese, Mandarin and English about every half an hour, reminding the LCSD that there is no life-saving service provided, but it seems somewhat contradictory that "if necessary, you can find the beach staff."
Lifeguards on duty said that many citizens still come to ask for help, such as someone fainted or injured will find them.

Several people have been drowned in the past month
In the past month, there have been several cases of drowning among citizens in Hong Kong, including the drowning of men who played snorkeling in Qingshuiwan during the seventies. Deng Zian said that when he saw these news, he would feel sad. He pointed out that Hong Kong ’s public beaches sometimes have very deep water. If there is a floating platform, the water depth will exceed five meters. The wind and high waves are also dangerous. However, lifeguards are responsible for saving the lives of citizens. "If someone has an accident, Ask for help, do n’t let me see if you ca n’t save? But saving people and first aid are in close contact, and the epidemic situation is not over yet. How much is the infection when saving people? We are very confused. "
Under the restraint order, the LCSD instructed lifeguards to patrol the beach, and if they saw more than four people, they would need to step forward and persuade them to sit separately and maintain a social distance. Deng Zi'an said that this job was not easy, and even some "offended the public", and often lifeguards were "greeted", "Citizens come out to play, a few adults sit together, you go up to persuade Quxi to sit away Hey, the beach is so close, can Quza sit there? Mi Nao returns to you! "

Citizens break through the blockade and take a shower in the locker room
He continued by saying that lifeguards do not actually have the power to enforce laws, nor can they issue tickets, and sometimes the effect of persuasion is limited. Citizens sometimes apparently have more than four people coming out, and when lifeguards go to persuade, they will act like they do not know each other, but they will get together again in less than a while. He said that there is no solution. "There are closed public beaches in foreign countries, but the closure will not allow anyone to enter."
Recently, the epidemic has dropped slightly, and the crowds on the beach are surging. Many citizens are not wearing masks. They are very relaxed. Deng Zian lamented that the citizens on the beach were "relaxed." He said that the epidemic seemed to have reached the last moment, but he still had challenges with the mainland and foreign countries afterwards. "I know that citizens are so bored at home, but they all want to be relaxed. Lose a lot. "
