The fourth wave of the new crown epidemic is volatile, and the number of confirmed diagnoses has rebounded recently. A series of social distancing measures that expire this Wednesday (27th) will be prolonged.
According to the news, the government tends to extend the gathering restriction measures for another week, which means that the night market ban on food and the two-person gathering restriction order will continue. The Executive Council will meet tomorrow (26th) to discuss.

According to the news, the government has considered relaxing some measures in response to the approach of the Lunar New Year. However, the epidemic has suddenly rebounded in the past few days. In addition, the government has just completed the "closed area" in Jordan and the number of confirmed cases has risen.
Some people in the guild pointed out that they are currently in a contradictory situation. Last week they lobbied the government to moderately relax restrictions on gatherings, such as restoring dine-in dinners in the evening market and increasing the number of people per table to 4 or 6, hoping to fight the epidemic and restore the economy. To strike a balance, the government is also "depressed" to consider, but the epidemic rebounded in the past week, and the number of confirmed cases has fluctuated between 60 and 70. If the measures are relaxed at this time, it is difficult to justify; as for the 13 types of listed premises that have been closed for a long time, it is difficult to relax. What is the chance.

Another guild member said that they have not decided whether to extend the epidemic prevention measures for only one week, but believe that there is a great chance of implementation. Because they still hope to relax some restrictions before the Chinese New Year, they are likely to extend the restrictions on gatherings for 7 days first and pay attention to the future. The trend of the epidemic in a week will be judged again.
Xu Shuchang, a government expert consultant and chair professor of the Department of Respiratory System at CUHK, said yesterday that confirmed cases are still in the high double digits and the proportion of unknown sources is high. There is little chance that the epidemic will drop to a low level before the Chinese New Year. There is no room to relax epidemic prevention measures.
The members of the guild pointed out that the chief executive trusts expert opinions, but thinks that it is more flexible to make decisions based on the weekly updates.
