News: The Mainland will not send doctors to Hong Kong for consultation

The central government also set up an "Inner Local Cabin Hospital Support Team" to come to Hong Kong. According to the National Health Commission's website, there are 6 members. According to the news, the nucleic acid testing support team will come to Hong Kong first, and the Fangcang shelter hospital support team has no timetable for coming to Hong Kong.

Chief Secretary for Administration Zhang Jianzong pointed out last week that mainland experts mainly do hardware work, and "medical personnel will definitely not be an issue." According to the news, the Hong Kong side has made it clear that medical personnel are not an issue. Therefore, the shelter hospital support teams sent from the mainland are mainly designers, not sending doctors to Hong Kong to treat Hong Kong people.

National testing requires huge mobilization and rapid completion

Zhang Zhujun, Director of Infectious Diseases of the Center for Health Protection, has been answering questions from the media for several days. He has repeatedly stated that Hong Kong is currently unconditionally testing 7.5 million Hong Kong people. The outbreak in Beijing at the end of June was repeated, and 11 million people were tested. According to reports, thousands of workers were involved.

The 60 people of the "Mainland Nucleic Acid Testing Support Team" came to Hong Kong mainly to help improve Hong Kong’s testing capabilities. According to the news, the Hong Kong government and the central government need to decide whether or not Hong Kong will conduct national testing. This requires a huge mobilization capacity and a short period of time. It is valid only if completed within.
