Formation to promote mandatory testing Chen Zhaoshi: voluntary testing is more appropriate
The Federation of Trade Unions Mak Mei-juan pointed out that the epidemic in Hong Kong has not been under control for many months. Many citizens said that the government has implemented a "foot ban" and compulsory testing in exchange for clearing infections, and asked whether the authorities have established a route for clearing infections. It also draws up a specific timetable for each stage of the anti-epidemic work, and studies how to minimize the impact of the implementation of universal testing and the ban on citizens’ lives.
Chen Zhaoshi said that the effective implementation of mandatory testing for the entire population requires the cooperation of a ban on footwork, but whether citizens are willing to cooperate and daily supply is also another issue. He believes that at present, it is necessary to carry out compulsory quarantine for people at risk and cooperate with more extensive Voluntary quarantine is a more appropriate strategy.
Mai Meijuan criticized that the government’s anti-epidemic work was indeed "extremely hard and busy," but it was not "well done." He asked the government what anti-epidemic targets have been set. If it has not been cleared so far, does it mean that the government's policy has failed.
Chen Zhaoshi said that the government has been reviewing the successful experience of the mainland and other countries, and has continuously strengthened and changed epidemic prevention measures in response to the emergence of virus variants in other places. In the future, it will also strengthen the work of virus testing and finding close contacts.
According to Pakatan Harapan Wu Yongjia, the app "Travel with peace of mind" is currently only used by more than 400,000 people. He criticized the government for not providing incentives for the public. It is recommended that the government add certificates such as negative results of the new coronary pneumonia quarantine to "Travel with peace of mind". Relevant certified persons are entering government sports venues, watching movies in theaters, etc.
Chen Zhaoshi pointed out that when the epidemic eases to the point where the government can relax social distancing measures, relevant directions are worth exploring, and policy bureaux will continue to communicate with stakeholders.
