Last update date: 2020-08-13 18:56The new crown pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong continues, and the Hong Kong government is about to launch universal testing. According to Pakatan Harapan Legislative Council Member Lu Weiguo on a radio program, the government can issue "Hong Kong Health Code" to citizens who have tested negative, referring to mainland practices to allow limited responses to social activities and For economic activities, avoid "holding" in restaurants and shops.
Lin Ruihua, the convener of the Hong Kong SME Food Store Alliance, said bluntly that the method of entering a restaurant with the "Hong Kong Health Code" is absurd. He pointed out that the test was negative on the day of the test, which does not mean that he will not be infected with the virus within 7 days. Some restaurant owners pointed out that if measures are implemented to reduce the source of customers in disguise, they also pointed out that strengthening the diners’ awareness of epidemic prevention is the key to epidemic prevention in restaurants.

Lu Weiguo said that in many public places in the Mainland, it is necessary to display a health code on a mobile phone to enter, and he believes that Hong Kong can refer to it. Lin Ruihua, the convener of the Hong Kong SME Food Store Alliance, said bluntly that the method of entering a restaurant with the "Hong Kong Health Code" is absurd. He pointed out that the test was negative on the day of the test, which does not mean that he will not be infected with the virus within 7 days. He questioned whether citizens need to apply for inspections regularly or frequently if the measures are implemented, and pointed out who should be responsible for the costs of inspections. "What about the money? Who is in charge? Isn't it a taxpayer?"
Lin Xuhui pointed out that the government often uses the catering industry to implement measures, believing that the "Hong Kong Health Code" is the name of epidemic prevention, and monitoring is true. He called on the government to resolve loopholes in entry and exit, such as the arrangement for persons exempted from quarantine, and urged the government to issue the third round of anti-epidemic funds as soon as possible to subsidize rent, and to resume evening dine-in as soon as the epidemic improves. He pointed out that some of the restaurants have been temporarily suspended. If the economy and the epidemic do not resume, half or more of the restaurants are expected to close down.

Restaurant owner: Citizens don’t want to go out for street food?
The owner of a restaurant in Tsuen Wan, Mr. Lin, pointed out that if customers need to display the "Hong Kong Health Code" before entering the restaurant, it will reduce the number of customers in disguise. He believes that the government cannot create a health code for all citizens at once, which means that there is a gap in the time for citizens to apply, and the processing time for hospitals and testing agencies is different. "If you get the health code first for a week or a month, don't the people want to go out for street food?"
He also pointed out that the incubation period of the new crown virus is 14 days. If citizens need to be tested every 14 days, the government needs to consider issues such as cost, resources, and implementation. He gave an example of a pedestrian footbridge connecting a shopping mall in Tsuen Wan, and questioned whether there is no health code at that time, and the shopping mall and the footbridge cannot be passed. But he said frankly that if the government implements measures, it can only be accepted, emphasizing that there are more than 10,000 restaurants in Hong Kong, and it is not the trade union, Tommy Cheung, or other Members who can represent the industry.

The owner of the tea restaurant Lin and his wife also disagrees with the measure, questioning whether the method has loopholes and is not safe: "Isn't it a daily inspection, how long will it be? She believes that strengthening the diners’ awareness of epidemic prevention is the key to epidemic prevention in restaurants. But she confessed that if the government implements measures, it can only helplessly cooperate.
