Chen Zhaoshi said today on the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Accountability on Saturday" that he had begun to prevent contingency measures after he learned of the epidemic situation in the Mainland in December last year. "Every wave of measures is calm." She pointed out that because there are import cases at border crossings, she hopes to reduce the flow of people, including measures at the mainland, as well as significant imports from all over the world since March, and measures at airport crossings.

Chen said that the second task is to guard the line of defense. Therefore, quarantine and testing are required for entry. If there are confirmed cases, close contacts are also required. The third task is the social distance measure. Chen pointed out that Hong Kong has canceled large-scale activities since the Lunar New Year. Schools have also been closed. By the end of March, there are laws regulating social distance.

She believes that with the efforts of the Department of Health, HA colleagues and volunteers, "walk to IKEA to defend the line first", but due to the unstable external factors, it is still not slack. In addition to deepening the current measures, it will also think about how to do a good job in the future. Relaxation measures work, "Department of science and art, balance public health with citizens' lives, economy, etc."

However, Chen did not disclose whether measures such as a restraining order will be extended after the expiry of next Thursday, only referring to the worst plan for the next step, such as conceiving an early warning of the outbreak of a nursing home or dormitory.
