The new crown pneumonia epidemic continues, but shopping malls have been crowded from time to time. The Director of the Food and Health Bureau Chen Zhaoshi said yesterday (13th) that he is studying the early closure of the mall.

Respiratory system specialist Liang Zichao said in a program on Hong Kong and Taiwan this morning (14th) that requiring shopping malls to close early and close to the city will seriously affect the economy. Moreover, after the shopping malls are closed early, the flow of people during business hours may increase suddenly. In response to the disproportionate increase in risks, the authorities are more important to consider how to disperse the flow of people.

Liang Zichao described in the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millenniums" that the early closure of shopping malls is "destructive", which may not only push up the unemployment rate, but the society may not be able to withstand the pressure, "may shorten the time until the zero is cleared." , Questioning whether it needs to be implemented at this stage.

Liang Zichao also pointed out that if the shopping mall is only open during certain hours, the flow of people during business hours will double, and the risk will rise disproportionately. "If you triple the number of people during a period of time, you will have a triple risk of infection. There are three times more people exposed (to the risk), that is, the overall risk is nine times higher.”

He believes that the government should communicate with the business community on how to disperse the flow of people during the Lunar New Year holiday.
