The new crown pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong has eased recently. Yesterday (3rd) there were 8 new confirmed cases, which were in single digits for two consecutive days, of which 7 were local cases, which was a single-day low since the third wave of the epidemic.
However, there is news that the number of confirmed cases today is about 13 cases. Together with the two confirmed cases found through universal community testing yesterday, the number of confirmed cases today is back to double digits.
According to the government, as of this morning, more than 917,000 people have registered for the Universal Community Testing Program, 521,000 people have completed sampling, and 208,000 nucleic acid tests have been completed.
[12:08] Chen Zhaoshi: The operation has been straightened out, and I believe the test speed will be accelerated.
"The first two days of testing and confirming the diagnosis will take time. Time lag is unavoidable. After straightening out, it will speed up. With the addition of mainland support teams, the operation will be smooth."
[11:55] When asked about the Hong Kong government’s strategy for procurement of vaccines, Director Chen Zhaoshi said that Hong Kong has a dual-pronged approach to vaccine procurement, and at the end of August, it has decided to participate in the COVAX vaccine program of the WHO and some organizations, and the Hong Kong government also Have sufficient resources to purchase.
In addition, the Science Committee of the Department of Health has also contacted individual pharmaceutical companies and is reviewing the data. Because clinical testing is in progress, some pharmaceutical companies have reached this stage.
[11:50] When asked about the effectiveness of the nationwide testing program, the two directors said in unison that "it is important to find one invisible patient."
Nie Dequan said that even an invisible patient can cause an outbreak.

As of 10 am today, a total of 208,000 nucleic acid tests have been completed.
In addition, the inspection support team from the Mainland arrived in Hong Kong in early August. There are currently 420 members of the Mainland support team in Hong Kong. The National Health Commission can arrange for more personnel to come to Hong Kong if necessary.
Chen Xu said that the third wave in the past has been group propagation, so it is important to find out as soon as possible in a short period of time.
As far as the whole society is concerned, normal social and economic activities can be resumed as soon as possible, and everything can return to normal under the new normal. I hope that citizens will not check and grasp the opportunity.
[11:33] Nie Dequan: As of 11 o'clock this morning, a total of 521,000 people have sampled, and 917,000 people have made an appointment to register.
After reviewing the experience of the past 3 days, including the operation experience of the testing center and the needs of the public, it was decided to extend the entire plan for 4 days to next Friday (September 11).
At the same time, after reviewing the use of the 141 center in the past 3 days, there are some burst lights in the center, and some are not used high due to location reasons. Therefore, 19 centers will no longer be used after next Monday (7th). During this period, there are still 122 center services.
[10:55] According to the news, 13 new confirmed cases were added today, interrupting the single-digit confirmed cases for two consecutive days, or showing a rebound trend.
[9:52] Secretary for Civil Service Nie Dequan and Secretary for Food and Health Chen Zhaoshi will meet with the media at 11:30 this morning. They are expected to talk about the latest arrangements for popularizing community testing.
[9:48] Liang Zichao, a respiratory specialist, said in an interview in Hong Kong and Taiwan's "Millennium" today (4th) that one invisible patient has been found for every 60,000 samples. The number is not high, but it reflects that there are still Recessive transmission, the epidemic cannot be said to be controlled, and it is believed that it will be "cleared" only after a few weeks.
He also believes that if the authorities can release the sampling and laboratory results, it would be ideal to reduce them to one day. In addition, they can consider extending part of the full-capacity testing center to avoid the public waiting in line.
