[11:04] The new crown pneumonia epidemic continues. The government announced earlier that it would cancel the Lunar New Year Fair. Yesterday (19th) it "kneeled down" and announced that it would resume selling new year flowers in 15 Lunar New Year fairs.
Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene, Liu Liqun, reiterated today (20th) that florists have been reminded of the risk of cancelling the New Year’s Eve before the filing, but in order to meet the demands of the public and stall owners, only the "point of sale" is now reset and the scale is reduced. Half of them have also taken measures to control the flow of people and other anti-epidemic measures, describing them as "reasonable balance", emphasizing that everything should be anti-epidemic first, and calling for "buy and sell quickly" by then to reduce crowd gathering.
Government expert consultant Xu Shuchang pointed out that the resumption of the Lunar New Year’s Eve and the current epidemic prevention measures have "some conflicts", frankly saying that crowd gathering will increase the risk of virus transmission, but the authorities have tried to minimize the risk, describing it as responding to the demands of the industry and the public. "Compromise method."

He Boliang said that it is estimated that 1 million to 2 million people will go to 15 Lunar New Year Fairs in Hong Kong by then, urging the public to avoid entering the fair during peak hours to avoid crowds and crowds.

[10:10] The government announced yesterday that it will expand the scope of mandatory testing. In the designated testing areas of Yau Ma Tei and Jordan, "core areas" are delineated and residents in the core areas are required to conduct mandatory testing.
Xu Shuchang, chair professor of the Department of Respiratory System at the Chinese University, accepted the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millennium" this morning (20) that there are many subdivided houses in Hong Kong, the air is not ventilated, and the pipe connections are substandard. Therefore, the government has tried to reduce the threshold for testing. It is hoped that the confirmed cases can be found as soon as possible during the mandatory testing of the old building.
Xu Shuchang pointed out that the government's mandatory testing did not cooperate with the ban order because the old buildings in Yau Ma Tei had a bad environment and many units were polluted. If residents continue to stay, it may not be safe.
He agreed that the effect will be "discounted", and residents who are subject to compulsory testing will still go to work and restaurants. Therefore, he hopes that local residents will be tested as soon as possible. The current test response is good.
