Wu Qiubei, chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions, said that Hong Kong’s new coronary pneumonia epidemic has been repeated recently, and he is worried that there will be a large outbreak of the epidemic.

There was a third wave of outbreak of new pneumonia in Hong Kong. There were 42 new cases of new pneumonia diagnosed yesterday (9th), 34 of which were local cases. The Hong Kong Government had previously planned to mutually recognize the "Health Code" quarantine certification system with the Mainland and Macau governments.

The Federation of Trade Unions held a press conference today (10th), confessing to the letter to the central government earlier that it requested assistance to Hong Kong in its comprehensive testing. Wu Qiubei, chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions, said that Hong Kong’s new coronary pneumonia epidemic has been repeated recently, and he is worried that there will be a large outbreak of the epidemic. He believes that there must be new measures to deal with it.

Wu Qiubei praised the experience and efficiency of comprehensive testing in the Mainland. For example, in the early stage of the epidemic, the mainland government conducted comprehensive testing in Wuhan and Beijing, and successfully detected more than 10 million samples in a month, which made Beijing's remarkable Control the epidemic. In Guangdong, there are also about 390 testing stations with high coverage, and we believe that Hong Kong should emulate the Mainland for comprehensive testing. Wu also believes that when preventing and controlling the epidemic, the Mainland and Hong Kong should be considered as a whole to achieve joint prevention and control. Wu reiterated that even if he asked the mainland government to assist in a comprehensive test, it would be conducted in accordance with Hong Kong’s privacy regulations.

Mai Meijuan, a member of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions, agreed to cut off the virus transmission chain and find invisible patients. Therefore, it supports universal testing. Otherwise, more group outbreaks may occur, and the information obtained after comprehensive testing can be used to promote health codes. policy. Mai Meijuan also pointed out that because of the epidemic prevention work, many families who know how to work and study in transit can't live in the same way as before and even face financial difficulties. Therefore, I hope to respond to the epidemic in an effective way, resume the normal flow of people and logistics as soon as possible, and reiterate that we cannot stop normal economic life for a long time.

Deng Jiabiao said that there were 23 confirmed cases yesterday at Ciyun Mountain Home for the Elderly. In addition, there is still no patient No. 0 in this group, and he is worried that the epidemic will affect nearby communities. Deng suggested that priority should be given to high-risk groups such as residents and staff of elderly homes, and groups with less awareness of epidemic prevention, such as students, to conduct a comprehensive test and hand it over to the mainland for testing and evaluation. I believe this move can help to grasp the epidemic.
