The Lunar New Year is approaching, and the New Year under the epidemic is completely different from the past. Many people expect the government to relax social distancing measures before the new year.
Respiratory specialist Liang Zichao pointed out today (29th) that if the public expects family gatherings and relaxation of epidemic prevention measures during the New Year, the daily number of confirmed diagnoses must drop to single digits to reduce the risk.
He emphasized that the next 14 days is the key. Apart from work, it is necessary to avoid contact with family members who do not live with him. He also bluntly stated that "the world is nothing but work. If you have expectations, you must work hard."
When asked if he is worried about the epidemic rebounding after the New Year, Liang believes that if the total number of cases can be reduced to a lower level within 14 days, if unfortunately there is a rebound, it may only rise from single digits to more than 10 cases. The risks are not big."
Therefore, he urged the public to avoid high-risk activities in the near future.

There are still about two weeks before the Lunar New Year, but the social distancing measures are still the tightest. Many people worry that they will not be able to gather with their families in the New Year.
Liang Zichao believes that if the number of confirmed cases in Hong Kong per day can be reduced to a single number, the risk of small family gatherings during the New Year is not too high.
And now there are still two weeks until the New Year. He said that if the target of 10 cases is to be reached, the number of confirmed cases will drop by half every week, which is very fast.
Liang believes that since cases of unknown origin are spread across all districts, if the target number of case units is to be achieved, the government cannot rely solely on government actions. "It is impossible to rely on the government in designated areas to reveal all cases." The citizens must also protect themselves.
He urged the public to avoid gatherings and contact with non-resident family members except for work within 14 days. In addition, if they have symptoms, they must also be tested immediately to have the opportunity to halve the spread of the epidemic every week.
He also bluntly said, "The time is getting less and less, and the chance of getting there (within 10 cases) is getting lower and lower."
Liang Zichao believes that if the number of confirmed cases in Hong Kong per day can be reduced to a single number, the risk of small family gatherings during the New Year is not too high.

The news is that the number of confirmed cases has picked up again today. Is it impossible to drop to less than 10 in two weeks?
Liang Zichao believes that the key to increased community vigilance is whether the citizens can "bear it" within 14 days, and he also bluntly said that "the world is nothing for nothing. If you have expectations, you must work hard. It is not necessarily impossible to do it."
He also suggested that the public should avoid high-risk activities, such as avoiding crowds of people when shopping for the New Year.
After Christmas and New Year, the number of confirmed diagnoses in Hong Kong rebounded again. I was asked if social distancing measures are relaxed, will there be a rebound after the Lunar New Year?
Liang said that if the spread can be reduced to a low number, even if there is a risk of rebound, it is not too big. He also said that "no matter how persuaded, we will have a New Year party." Therefore, if the total number of cases is reduced to a lower level, the New Year party will be held. The risk to the community is reduced.
