As for mandatory testing for the entire population, Carrie Lam said that Hong Kong will be sealed off for several weeks, and everyone will have to stay at home for several weeks. She believes that this method cannot be done and will not be effective, because all experts will point out that in the coming winter Infection cannot be completely avoided.

She emphasized that the most effective way is to accurately identify patients as early as possible by all means so that they cannot spread in the community, including mandatory testing and target group testing.



I believe there will be more confirmed cases in the dancing group

Some listeners are concerned about the "long queues" of dancing groups at community testing centers, or they may cause infection.

Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said that the dancing group is very large and involves many people. It is believed that the confirmed cases will continue to come. Therefore, the first anti-epidemic strategy is to identify as soon as possible and isolate the confirmed people for treatment to prevent spread in the community.



She also pointed out that for the first time the authorities cited a law to require relevant persons to be tested. Because the number of people is unknown, the staff of the testing center will ask to queue separately.

The number of community testing centers will increase to nine from this weekend to early next week. The priority is to be responsible for high-risk groups and target groups. If citizens have no symptoms, they can go to the Hospital Authority's general outpatient clinics to get bottles for testing.

Alleging that after the "social storm" the hotel was quarantined, the hotel was very afraid of being



asked about the delayed border measures and when the designated hotel would be implemented. Carrie Lam said bluntly that "there is a certain reason", because after the "social storm" last year, and "whatever the government is," Acting, supporting the government, and cooperating with the government will all be violent, or it will be the bottom line."

She said that since the beginning of the epidemic, the hotel has been contacted for quarantine and waiting for the result, but because the hotel is very scared, "the difficulty is so great that even if the hotel owner is willing, the employees are not willing." First, they were worried about the infection, and second, they were worried. Someone is doing it."

As for the designated hotel, she emphasized that it has been "fastened as soon as possible."
