The new pneumonia epidemic is gradually under control. The Federation of Trade Unions held a press conference today (9th) to urge the government to strictly control the outbreak while gradually relaxing the entry and exit restrictions, resuming normal economic activities, and revitalizing economic security employment. The chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions Huang Guo believes that Hong Kong has recorded zero local infection cases for 19 consecutive days. As a small and open economic city, Hong Kong ’s strict immigration prevention and control measures have severely hit the economy, which has worsened the employment environment and increased the unemployment rate. ; Mandating all people who come from Hong Kong to accept 14 days of quarantine will severely affect a large number of Hong Kong people who live or work in the Mainland. The Federation of Trade Unions recommends that the government actively consider gradually relaxing restrictions on entry and exit under conditions, including timely adjustment of epidemic prevention and control policies. A reasonable balance should be achieved between strict prevention and control of epidemic situations and maintaining normal economic and social operations to ensure the employment of female workers.
