The epidemic of the new coronavirus pneumonia kicked off at the end of last year and gradually spread from Wuhan, Hubei, to many cities across the country. Four months apart, this war without smoke has caused more than 3 million people in many countries around the world to get sick.

Hong Kong is one of the few cities that still "holds". As of today (7th), 1040 cases were diagnosed and 4 people died.

As the head of the health department, the Director of the Food and Health Bureau, Chen Zhaoshi, accepted an exclusive interview with "Hong Kong 01". Looking back at this unforgettable hard battle, I can't help but feel a lot of emotions. On the anti-epidemic road, the first medical strike in the history of Hong Kong, the "Tao Da Garden 2.0" in the Kangmei Building of Changkang Village, and the temporary testing center were built and opened from scratch. In response to the busy situation day and night, Chen Zhaoshi said that he would "look at the same phone," and she described it as not important during the "war period." The outside world criticized the government for its slow response. She reiterated that the government team has done its best. "It is not necessarily possible to have time for every step. It is not possible. Every step is the effort (result) of citizens and colleagues."
