[15:59] Some reporters have asked how to supervise and be responsible if there is an error or accident. Carrie Lam pointed out that all three organizations are registered in Hong Kong, and the three organizations are responsible.

[15:56] Carrie Lam said that mainland inspectors have detailed knowledge of Hong Kong sampling methods and equipment. I believe there are very few voices opposed to mainland personnel coming to Hong Kong.

[15:40] Two support teams are responsible for testing and construction of the shelter hospital. There are 60 people in the testing support team for virus testing. The Fangcang shelter hospital support team has not yet arrived, and Lam Cheng believes that thousands of construction workers will not come. The officers come to Hong Kong on official visas, and they put down their work in the Mainland and will not stay in Hong Kong after completion.

The reporter asked about the issue of professional qualification exemption and how to be supervised in Hong Kong. Chen Zhaoshi said that there is a legal framework, and the "Medical Laboratory Technologists (Special Regulations)" will be gazetted later, valid for two months. Chen said that mainland personnel are qualified for testing by the National Health Commission, and Hong Kong exempts them from their qualifications in Hong Kong by law for a period of two months.

[15:36] Carrie Lam: If there is no "foot ban", the test results will be discounted, but it depends on the affordability of Hong Kong citizens. I believe it cannot be accepted at the moment.

[15:24] Carrie Lam: Central support includes sending the Hong Kong branch of three national-level institutions for testing, namely BGI, Jinyu, and Kaipu.

In Sun Yat-sen Memorial Park, a temporary "Fire Eye Laboratory" was built. Inspectors will be exempted in accordance with laws and regulations, etc., and the Director of the Food and Health Bureau will be responsible.

In addition to the Asia World Expo, 1,000 additional negative pressure wards have been built in other places, which can be called "Hong Kong version of square cabin hospital" or "Hong Kong version of Vulcan Mountain Hospital." Outside the Asia Expo, there is a land of 30,000 square meters to build the "Hong Kong version of Huoshenshan Hospital."

Carrie Lam quoted two expert captains. Yu Dewen, the leader of nucleic acid testing team and Guangdong Provincial Health Commission: "To do the testing with the most professional attitude, Hong Kong needs our assistance, and we have no hesitation." Wan Jun, the leader of the shelter and the director of Wuhan shelter hospital: “This time we support Hong Kong. Bringing the Wuhan Fangcang shelter hospital experience to Hong Kong will also bring the central government's deep friendship for Hong Kong."

We hope that citizens will not be misled by remarks and fight the epidemic together. The SAR government has two working groups to connect with the mainland. The Director of the Development Bureau, Huang Weilun, is responsible for community treatment facilities, and the Secretary of Food and Health Bureau Chen Songqing is responsible for testing. The Constitutional Bureau is responsible for coordinating with the central government.

[15:15] Carrie Lam: The central government spared no effort to support. Yu Dewen, the leader of the nucleic acid testing support team, came to Hong Kong today, and the Fangcang shelter hospital support team is on standby. Due to rumors on the Internet, we will first explain that the framework has been determined, but some details are not available.

Virus testing has a three-pronged approach: First, the Department of Health and the Hospital Authority will conduct medical testing, and will not allocate resources to public groups.

The second is specific group testing, high-risk groups and other daily work contact citizens, the government provides free specific groups. Such as postmen, faculty, public transportation staff, institutions, etc. Arrange for domestic helpers recently

Together with Renji Hospital, Zhou will test pregnant women together and will issue a test report.

The third category is universal community testing, which citizens can do if they want, regardless of whether they are high-risk groups. Voluntary nature, huge scale, millions of Hong Kong citizens. Start in two weeks.

Several principles: start in a short time; avoid crowd gathering; convenient and electronic; track sample bottles; protect personal privacy, the laboratory does not need to know the identity of the sample owner.

[15:09] Lin Zhengyue'e: Due to the limited testing capabilities, previously concentrated from the hospital, there are eight levels of testing gradually, including citizens to take samples of bottles in outpatient clinics. It's time to popularize virus detection, and it takes a short time to enhance detection capabilities.

Hong Kong has been sending all patients to hospital. Earlier, there were more than 200 confirmed patients waiting to be admitted to the hospital. In terms of community treatment, Hong Kong patients are suitable, because more than 90% of patients are in stable condition and do not even need treatment. They can be sent to community treatment centers to reduce the pressure on the hospital. There are community treatment centers in Asia World Expo, Lei Yue Mun, etc. The situation has improved today, but another wave of outbreaks may occur in winter. Community treatment facilities should be added in a short time.

[15:00] Carrie Lam: The epidemic is still severe. The number of confirmed cases has increased sharply since July, with 40% of cases of unknown origin.

Expansion of the detection of specific groups, completed 137,000, 54 positive cases, the percentage is 0.0004%, that is, 4 out of 10,000 people are positive. If you compare the population of 7.5 million, the percentage of non-high-risk groups is halved, and 1,500 people are positive.

Completed 1,048 homes, tested more than 32,000 people, accounting for more than 80% of all employees, and found 1 positive.

In the taxi driver group, 1,500 drivers were newly tested and 12 were diagnosed. The percentage is 0.08%, which is higher than the overall 0.0004%.

In the catering industry, 32,000 employees tested positive and 6 were positive. 3,800 people were tested in the market and 5 were found to be positive. The Sheung Shui Slaughterhouse tested 1,900 people, and 5 were diagnosed with a percentage of 0.26%. The property management inspected 23,000 people and 3 confirmed them. Huang Taixian and Ciyunshan tested 28,000 people and found 20 positive, the percentage is 0.07%. In boarding some special schools, 750 staff were tested and all were negative.

[14:33] Standard Chartered Hong Kong stated that it received a notice from an employee of the Maanshan branch that he was initially diagnosed with the new coronavirus. The employee always wears a mask during work. The Ma On Shan branch has been temporarily closed for thorough cleaning and disinfection until further notice. The employees of the branch also quarantined themselves for 14 days from now on. Standard Chartered will contact guests who have direct contact with the employee to remind them of their health conditions.

[13:35] According to sources, the government is expected to announce a voluntary test for all citizens, with about 400,000 samples being tested daily. The Sun Yat-sen Memorial Park Gymnasium in Xiyingpan will set up a testing center. Regarding the national testing arrangements, citizens will be required to take their own throat swab samples. It is not yet known whether they will be allowed to choose to use deep throat saliva samples.

[13:12] According to the news, Chief Executive Carrie Lam will hold a press conference at 3 pm today (7th) to announce free voluntary virus testing for all Hong Kong citizens. The test is not compulsory, and it is done once per person for free. Refer to the method of testing for residents in Ciyunshan District, that is, citizens go to the clinic to obtain the test bottle and return it by themselves.

[13:00] According to the news, there are about 80 new confirmed cases today, which is a double-digit decline for five consecutive days.

[11:00] Huang Libao, director of the Hong Kong Center for Molecular Pathology, pointed out that the testing procedures in the mainland are different from those in Hong Kong. The mainland uses throat swabs for sampling and it is easy to handle the "mixed sample (mixed sample test)" procedure during testing, which enables large-scale population testing. Screening. He believes that the collection methods of throat swabs and deep throat saliva are also relatively accurate, depending on whether the collection method is correct and up to the standard.
