Chairman Lan Kwai Fong: We should actively respond to the coexistence of the epidemic and the epidemic
Lan Kwai Fong Group Chairman Sheng Zhiwen said that it is a "good idea" for the government to set up mobile inspection vehicles in the bar area. Regarding the epidemic, he believes that "instead of reacting passively (reactive), we should actively respond (proactive)".
Sheng Zhiwen said that if the bar is closed every time an outbreak occurs, "no bar can survive."
He also praised the government’s effectiveness in fighting the epidemic, but was also worried that the government might close the bar due to the epidemic. He suggested: "If a bar has an infection, it can be shut down for 4-5 days and all employees are tested to ensure that all employees are tested. If the result is negative and the bar is thoroughly disinfected, the bar should be allowed to reopen.” Sheng Zhiwen also pointed out that in the current situation, the new crown epidemic may never be returned to zero, so they must find a way to coexist with the epidemic.
