The fourth wave of new crown pneumonia is currently erupting in Hong Kong. There were 103 confirmed cases in a single day yesterday.

He Boliang, director of the Center for Infection and Infectious Diseases of the University of Hong Kong, pointed out that the government still has at least three deficiencies in epidemic prevention. One is that although mandatory testing has been introduced, it has not been fully implemented. Relying on citizens' spontaneous inspections; secondly, it is difficult to ensure the quality of the samples of immigrants, causing loopholes in the inspections, calling for the establishment of designated hotels and special personnel for sampling.

Regarding the fixed fines such as the gathering restriction order that may be increased to 10,000 yuan, he said he is more concerned about whether the government has investigated violations of indoor venues, "has been investigated? Has not been prosecuted?"

Regarding the possible increase of fixed fines such as gathering restrictions to 10,000 yuan, He Boliang said he is more concerned about whether the government has investigated violations of indoor venues.

More relevant law enforcement data should be released. It

is reported that the government will substantially increase the fixed fines for violations such as gathering restrictions and mask orders from the current 2,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan.

He Boliang believes that if it is really implemented, "the penalty is really heavy," but it is "make sense." The most important thing is how the government ensures that law enforcement is one-off and reasonable.

He said that the government should publish more relevant law enforcement data, and he also said that it is paying more attention to whether the government has investigated violations of indoor venues, "has been investigated? Has not been prosecuted?" He

did not ask the restaurant for the list of diners to affect the effectiveness of the measures.

On the other hand, he pointed out that although the government requires compulsory testing of diners in some restaurants, it has not obtained a list of diners from the restaurants, which affects the effectiveness of the measures. He pointed out that some restaurants require reservations and most of the patrons are regular customers. The government can do this. More thorough, rather than relying on diners to take the test spontaneously.

The patient may not understand how to leave a deep throat saliva sample due to ignorance of Chinese

Third, He Boliang said that the fourth wave of the epidemic was suspected to have been imported from Nepal. One of the related cases (the 5110th) was tested negative twice during the quarantine period, or the person did not understand Chinese and could not understand how to leave deep throat saliva. Sample, so that the test failed to find the case.

He advocated that the government set up designated hotels for quarantine, and arranged for special personnel to take samples. In addition, health declaration forms should be provided to quarantine persons so as not to leak cases.

Regarding the dialysis center of the Sanatorium and Hospital or the case where a patient passed the virus to another person due to eating sandwiches, he believes that it is indeed possible to spread the virus even when separated by a curtain, because if the patient has a long-term illness, the amount of the virus will be high and the vicinity will be polluted. The air may also spread through the air, because the air current can spread the flying clouds to places 10 meters away.

If the source patient does not wear a mask, it is most likely to cause transmission. People with poor resistance may inhale dozens of viruses and get caught, while healthy people may inhale thousands of viruses to get sick.
