It is reported that the Executive Council agreed to increase the fixed fines for violations of the gathering restriction order and mask order from the current 2,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan.

Respiratory specialist Liang Zichao said on a radio program today (3rd) that there is a serious disparity between the rich and the poor in Hong Kong. If the fine is raised to 10,000 yuan, it will be very harsh on low-income people, including foreign domestic helpers. "If you have money, don’t let the defendant be accused. If there is no money, then the defendant?” He also pointed out that if the fine is increased to 10,000 yuan, many fined persons will not have the financial means to pay, and the court will need to deal with the incident. However, the setting of fines was originally intended to facilitate law enforcement. Violating the original intention also put pressure on the court.

He believes that the most important thing is whether the government really enforces the law, not the amount of fines.

Sometimes after the police warned, violations still continue to reflect whether there is any real law enforcement.



Liang Zichao said on the TV and TV program "Millennium" that the gap between the rich and the poor in Hong Kong is serious. "If you have money, don’t you want to be accused, if you don’t have money, then you will be accused?" He pointed out that the fixed penalty was set up to facilitate law enforcement, but if the fine was increased to 10,000 yuan, many fines would have no financial means. Payment requires the court to deal with the incident, or it is contrary to the original intention, and it also puts pressure on the court.

He said that sometimes after the police have warned certain types of people or situations, the violations still persist, reflecting whether the government has really enforced the law, and even affecting the effectiveness of measures such as gathering restrictions.

Several members of the public called the radio and all opposed the increase of the fine to 10,000 yuan.

He urged the public to reduce going out and avoid high-risk activities, otherwise it may trigger another outbreak.

He continued that the institution is a high-risk location, even if mandatory testing is implemented, it may not be enough. Because the staff of the institution may take time to queue up at the testing center, it is very inconvenient. He suggested that the government send bottles to the institution to collect bottles in a short time. , The approach is more effective.

He also believes that regular testing may not completely stop the virus. He suggested that the government improve the convenience of testing. "If you have symptoms or exposure history, you can be tested immediately, even if you have something to do. Regular testing is not possible, but it must be quite confidential." He added that staff in residential institutions should also cultivate a work culture, avoid high-risk activities, and pay attention to the health of themselves and their families.

As for vaccines, he believes that if the vaccine is obtained sooner, it will be of great help to the community to resume activities, clear zero, and ease medical pressure. He pointed out that if the vaccine is safe and effective, it can control the main transmission risk channels or be more effective than testing, but Need more data support.
