Infectious and infectious diseases specialist Zeng Qiyin said that looking back at the third wave of the outbreak in Hong Kong, the infection of the elderly has placed a heavy burden on public medical care. Therefore, institutions need to carefully set up strict epidemic prevention measures.

He urged the Centre for Health Protection to investigate the severity of the case as soon as possible and take environmental samples from the institutions.

He believes that there may be a connection between the hospitals, and there may not be only one hospital with an outbreak. In the future, it is necessary to wait and see if the epidemic situation in the hospitals gets worse.

He also pointed out that it is not time to relax the visitation restrictions. The government should wait until the zero confirmed situation in the community continues before relaxing visits in an orderly manner.

As for the limited visits during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I thought that the government and the homes should "see what they are going to do", carefully formulate and explain the details, such as limiting the number of visitors, and requiring visitors to wear protective clothing. The homes also need to monitor the activities of the visitors during the .


Starting from this Friday, the upper limit of the number of people for religious activities can reach half of the places of worship; the sports premises can hold team sports with more than four people.

Zeng Qiyin said that too much relaxation is not suitable for athletes who have physical collisions. If there are too many people exercising in an unventilated room, it may not be suitable for relaxation.

He reminded athletes to take adequate prevention and control measures, and the government should review the effectiveness every two weeks.

As for religious premises, he pointed out that some religious believers may have more intimate contact, such as dragging hands, preaching the sacrament, etc. The relaxation measures must be carefully implemented.
