[17:30] Zhang Zhujun, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases, Department of Health Protection, Department of Health, admitted frankly, "The epidemic situation is really dangerous." Cases of unknown origin are accelerating daily. I believe that there should be more hidden sources or symptoms in the community. Cases appear. The only thing the authorities can do is to follow people around when the case occurs, where the victim has had a chance to go, and people who have had the opportunity to contact, but "will not get rid of it."
Zhang Zhujun continued that all citizens in Hong Kong are "walking around", the cases may not be concentrated in one district, the authorities may not be able to find all cases, and even if large-scale testing is arranged, they may not be able to find all infected people. She believes that it takes time to find the suspected quarantine and then quarantine. She believes that the public should reduce contact with other people in the next two weeks. No one can pass on others."
