The fourth wave of the epidemic is fierce. Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said that every rebound of the epidemic will inevitably arouse criticism from the public, believing that the government’s epidemic prevention has failed, referring to the long-term failure of citizens to resume cross-border contacts and some service industries have suffered greatly due to social distancing measures. The impact, "their anxiety and dissatisfaction are understandable."

Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor believes that the global anti-epidemic effect of Hong Kong is not bad, saying that the total number of confirmed cases in Hong Kong ranks behind more than 130 countries or regions, and the number of confirmed cases per 1 million people is 793, which is a very low level. The high degree of success of the mainland and Macau in strict control of the epidemic "is one of the reasons why Hong Kong people are frustrated."

Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said that after more than two months of stabilization of the epidemic, a large "dancing group" pushed Hong Kong into a new wave of epidemics. The exact source of the group has not been found yet, making it extremely difficult to curb the spread of the epidemic.

In the past 7 days, there have been 74 cases of unknown local origin, indicating that more cases have been introduced into the community, which will cause a larger-scale community outbreak at any time.

Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said that recently there have been demands in the society to require the government to implement mandatory testing for all people, but the mandatory testing must be completed for 7 million people in a short time, which involves practical issues such as scientific basis, cost-effectiveness, and feasibility.

The government is now adopting the mandatory "required inspections" for infected groups or high-risk individuals, arranging target groups to conduct "should inspections" and "willing to do all inspections" to satisfy the public's desire for peace of mind. For the time being, the service is still within the range of 100,000 single-tube tests per day, but the government will not rule out the re-introduction of large-scale community tests.

Lam solemnly reiterated that the success of the fight against the epidemic and even the "clearance" requires the support and cooperation of the general public.
