[12:58] In addition to the government, the testing center also has schools and shopping malls such as Jiuzhan, have you consulted the shopping malls and residents? Since many opinions have objections, is it optimistic to participate in the test in the future? If not, will it be difficult to cut the transmission chain? If you continue to tighten social distancing measures?

Nie Dequan said that the choice of location hopes to be in the 18th district, so there must be a suitable place for the test center. In addition, he hopes that the community can explain the purpose of the test plan through explanations. If the community can cooperate with each other, the corresponding arrangements will be made at the risk of infection; the test has no set purpose. "It’s good to find more than one," I hope everyone can see the publicity to reduce their worries.
He also pointed out that it takes only one minute to complete the registration by showing the ID and mobile phone, and then sampling. The process is a short time and it is difficult to generalize. Each center has different appointment quotas.
Chen Zhaoshi has relaxed his social distancing a little since today, but the number of the epidemic is still repeating every day. There are also cases where the source cannot be found, with invisible transmission. He hopes to find invisible patients in a short time, isolate and treat them as soon as possible, and cut off the transmission.

[12:48] Has the government set targets? The government will focus on the effectiveness and the invisible patients; have the 141 centers discussed with relevant institutions, will it affect the opening of schools, infection control, and criticize and respond to medical students?
Nie Dequan pointed out that the goal is to recruit asymptomatic people in the community and test the citizens of Hong Kong free of charge. I hope that many people will participate. There is no set goal. I don't think that the effect will be seen by many people. Because I hope that all 18 districts will participate, the first choice is government venues. , Because the venue is large enough to achieve large social distance. As for medical students who have discussed with colleges and universities, there will be training. They will know how to proceed. They hope to make appointments online to facilitate the crowd. It is also different from the Legislative Council because the Legislative Council will have different activities.
Chen Zhaoshi pointed out that there will be guidance for medical students to participate in their presence; Chen Hanyi also pointed out that there will be protective clothing for the participants on site, and there will also be ventilation arrangements in the venue.
[12:35] Can you clearly explain the composition of 6000 people, their participation, and the resources involved? Can elections be conducted, and if testing can be conducted?
Nie Dequan pointed out that the relevant information still needs to be sorted out, and the plan is expected to last for 7 days, or it may be extended if there is a chance, and the decision will be made in a few days. Regarding the issue of elections, the Chief Executive and the government decided to postpone one year, because the fight against the epidemic is the priority, and the election is not only one day, but also different activities, so it is evaluated as inappropriate; thirdly, a national test will also be one of the anti-epidemic measures. There is a difference between the number of people voting in seven days and the election day, and there is no comparison between the two.
In addition to the need for medical care, Chen Zhaoshi’s tests are also long-term. If there is a fourth wave in winter, how to deal with it. There were more than 100 cases a day earlier. The Hospital Authority and experts also responded with facilities such as hospital beds and judged discharge. There are hospital beds available for AsiaWorld-Expo, and the "Hong Kong version of the square cabin hospital" also has 1,000 beds. The relevant hardware is a system preparation measure of the Hospital Authority.
As for border control and compulsory quarantine, they have been very strict, otherwise Hong Kong residents will not be able to return to Hong Kong so far, and they will be especially careful in the face of frequent outbreaks in other places. The current measures for exempt persons have been tightened, regardless of the airport or land; At-risk passengers have to impose conditions such as negative nucleic acid and hotel reservations for 14 days before they can come to Hong Kong. The above are all quarantine measures and will be tightened if necessary.
Chen Songqing: The laboratory in the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Park Gymnasium is only temporary and will be evacuated later. Except for special cases such as outlying islands or remote villages that cannot be sent for inspection, there will be separate arrangements.

[12:26] How many of the 6000 medical staff are medical students? How to ensure that the citizens will not be injured? As for those from the Mainland who come to Hong Kong for assistance, do they ensure that they are eligible? "For yourself and others" is the slogan, is it selfish not to participate?
Nie Dequan: The team leader of the test will be a registered doctor, dentist and nurse, so they have medical knowledge and experience; and there are assistants, from colleges, students, ambulances, etc., who have medical knowledge and relevant training.

Nationwide testing is one of the three-pronged approach. "It is helpful to oneself. It is effective for everyone to participate in the invisible patients. Don’t criticize and accuse yourself of being too complicated." This is more beneficial to society. Effectiveness.
Chen Zhaoshi said that with the support of the central government, there are a lot of resources, but the SAR government is responsible for sampling and sampling points.
Chen Songqing pointed out that the mainland expects that there will be a maximum of 600 people in the support team in Hong Kong. The support team has been approved by the National Health Commission and has relevant experience. "It will be a temporary arrangement after completion." Nie Dequan also pointed out that the personnel are mainly in the laboratory. Internal work is divided from the sampling cost, and the backbone of the work in the Mainland is also carried out by key personnel with practical experience. For example, there are 27 million nucleic acid tests in Guangdong.
[12:20] If there is an official school as a testing center, or if teachers or students return to school, will it affect the operation of the school? Will it be contagious if the sampling center is not capped? There are nine exhibitions and a science park in the center, and there are still people working to ensure safety.
Nie Dequan: When looking for a testing center, considering safety issues, the school has an auditorium suitable. School starts on September 1 but does not return to school, so it will not affect the school; Nine Exhibitions and Science Park are not Saturdays and Sundays, and everyone has to work on weekdays. Days, so it’s convenient for people to go to work.
As for whether the sampling center environment is capped, there are guidelines from the Department of Health and medical staff have experience in handling it. As for medical students who assist in sampling, they also have clinical experience. Colleges and universities have also selected more suitable personnel with division of work as team leaders. The assistant team leader is performed by registered doctors, nurses, and dentists.
[12:16] If the elderly do not know how to surf the Internet, how can they participate? Are minor symptoms suitable for testing? How to prevent and control infections in test centers of different sizes?
Nie Dequan pointed out that it is best for the elderly to find family members or people acquainted with them to help register and participate, and the post office and housing estate offices can also assist in registering. The universal community testing program targets people over 6 years of age asymptomatic, and they should see a doctor if they have symptoms. Perform testing; he also pointed out that testing centers of different sizes will have different sampling stations (booth) to determine the number of different medical personnel and to ensure that social distance can be controlled.
[12:11] Regarding infection control in the testing center, Chen Hanyi stated that infection control has been established in the health protection, and the Hospital Authority will communicate with universities. In order to facilitate the citizens in 18 districts with different locations, the Department of Health has provided opinions; she also pointed out, Ventilation in the community center is an important part, and whether there is room for storing medical samples at the entrance and exit.
She pointed out that the test is a combined nasal cavity and throat swab samples. Both samples are placed in sample bottles. Every citizen will change their gloves if they have any symptoms, but they are not suitable for testing if they have any symptoms.
[12:08] Regarding the false-positive case, Chen Songqing said that all the current positive test results are preliminary and will be re-examined by the Center for Health Protection to ensure that false positives are not easy. The health agency will collect samples for re-testing. Through external quality assessment, including accurate detection sensitivity.
[12:05] Regarding the resources of the Hospital Authority, Chen Zhaoshi pointed out that the government has always provided suitable and required resources for the Hospital Authority in the past, such as manpower problems, such as the epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic, there will be an additional 4.7 billion yuan; Three-year funding is a one-cycle funding, and there are two funding for the 10-year hospital construction plan, namely 200 billion and 270 billion reconstruction funding plans. For the coronavirus disease, the hospital will check whether there are enough infectious disease facilities.
[11:59] A reporter asked if any false positives are expected, and will they be reviewed? How can national testing cut the chain of invisible transmission? And whether HA funds will be frozen due to the epidemic. Nie Dequan pointed out that there are 141 inspection points distributed in 18 districts in Hong Kong. They have been carried out in government venues, community centers, halls, gymnasiums, etc. There are restrictions on the number of people and social distance. The list can include community centers and community halls, each size Different, there may be ten points for the big ones, and not necessarily for others. The number of samples available for each one is different. At the same time, non-all 6,000 doctors and nurses can do the drying in the morning and evening within 14 days, so make arrangements for work allocation; whether it is effective or not Through practice, hoping to find invisible patients, the more people undergo testing, the better.
