The outbreak of new pneumonia in Hong Kong has worsened and many cases of unknown origin have emerged. Lu Chongmao, director of the Shenzhen Hospital of the University of Hong Kong, attended the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Urban Forum" today (12th) and used the "mountain fire" as a metaphor for the epidemic in Hong Kong. He also pointed out that the mainland’s epidemic control is “very good” and that the Mainland is a successful example. Hong Kong should definitely learn from it. If it wants to regain national standards, Hong Kong should do nearly 20,000 tests every day.

Refers to people from the Mainland who have no new symptoms

Lu Chongmao, the director of the Shenzhen Hospital of the University of Hong Kong, used the "mountain fire" as an analogy to the epidemic in Hong Kong. He believed that after the government had controlled the epidemic earlier, it had not done the "next step", including inspecting invisible patients in the community. Have control over incoming cases.

He criticized that there were major outbreaks in Europe and the United States, and the situation was "a mess". Therefore, the port should do better. Unless the nucleic acid test is in place, the relevant high-risk areas cannot be exempted from the mandatory quarantine arrangement. On the contrary, he said that those who came to Hong Kong from the Mainland and wanted to be isolated basically had no new symptoms.

"Shenzhen people startled Hong Kong people in the past"

Employees and authorized personnel of the Shenzhen University of Hong Kong are currently among the quarantine-free persons. Regarding the fact that there are too many exempt persons in Hong Kong, Lu Chongmao said that high-risk areas should be distinguished first. If high-risk areas arrive in Hong Kong, they agree that strict quarantine measures are required.

However, he said that the hospital is located in Shenzhen. Shenzhen has only 462 cases so far. There have been no local cases on 140 days and no input cases on 60 days. I can’t see why Shenzhen is regarded as a high-risk area. Li, it is better to transfer the words. People in Shenzhen are surprised that people in Hong Kong used to be in the past." He also pointed out that all colleagues will do nucleic acid tests before they arrive in Hong Kong.

Nearly 20,000 tests should be done daily

Asked whether the daily virus detection amount of 7,500 is sufficient, Lu believes that the current epidemic has already occurred in the local area, and more areas are involved. Therefore, 7,500 should not be regarded as "meeting the upper limit". He also took the Mainland as an example. Locally, about 3.78 million nucleic acid tests were done daily. To recover national standards, Hong Kong should do nearly 20,000 tests every day.

Mainland epidemic control is "excellent"

Lu also pointed out that compared with Europe and the United States, the mainland's epidemic control is "very good", and the mainland is a successful example. Hong Kong should definitely learn. For example, he pointed out that Beijing had an outbreak earlier, but it was completely controlled in a short time, and there were no new symptoms in the past four days. He said that the mainland has done a lot of nucleic acid tests. Beijing has done more than 9 million nucleic acid tests in a week. There are more than 2,000 sampling points in the whole city. The experimental fee is only 75 yuan, and the government is responsible for the mobilization. The force of the whole country, even Shenzhen, sent staff to Beijing to help.
