The epidemic in Hong Kong has been repeated, and the government has designated "restricted areas" four times, and a total of 14 confirmed cases have been identified.
The social distancing measures will expire on Wednesday (3rd). The government announced today (1st) that the measures will be extended to February 17 (the sixth day of the new year).
The Chief Secretary for Administration, Zhang Jianzong, also announced today that the threshold for mandatory testing for all buildings in Hong Kong will be "lowered", that is, as long as there is an unoriginated case in a building or a positive sewage test indicates that there may be a risk of infection, it will be listed as mandatory The test announcement states that all households must be tested for the virus within a specified time.

Zhang Jianzong said that the epidemic situation in Hong Kong is still severe. Although it slowed down slightly in mid-December, new clusters and outbreaks in old areas have since increased the number of cases. After a significant increase in the number of detections, the number has only recently dropped slightly.
He said that it is difficult to relax social distancing measures before the Lunar New Year, so he is determined to take more aggressive, decisive and effective actions to suppress the epidemic, so that the affected industries will resume business after the Lunar New Year holiday and resume face-to-face courses.
Sewage samples tested positive immediately
Zhang Jianzong announced that the mandatory testing threshold will be lowered from Tuesday (February 2). As long as there is an unoriginated case in a building in all areas of Hong Kong, or the test of a sewage sample is positive, it will be included in the mandatory test. We will test the Gongji, and will give priority to sewage testing for the designated area buildings, and detect confirmed patients as soon as possible in high-risk areas.
Zhang Jianzong: "Extensive and Frequent Actions" previews more closed areas
Zhang Jianzong warned that from today to the twenty-ninth (10th), the authorities will have "widespread and frequent actions", mainly for buildings with a large number of confirmed cases, poor building quality or positive sewage tests, and restricted testing (ie, closed areas) .
He said that no matter how many cases are found in the end, it can explain the doubts of the residents and enable the government and citizens to grasp the epidemic. The Home Affairs Bureau is responsible for overall command. The goal is to investigate in the community in the shortest time, find the infected, and reach the "community" Clear".
He later added that the authorities hope to do more inspections in restricted areas, which means that inspections may be closed every day.
Regarding the enhancement of workplace testing, the Center for Health Protection found that there were group outbreaks in places in the past. In addition to suspension and disinfection, people in the same workshop were required to conduct testing. Starting today, the threshold will be lowered. For example, there are two or more confirmed cases in a workplace. Mandatory testing is required.
Zhang Jianzong also stated that there is currently no room for relaxation of social distancing measures, and the measures will be extended until February 17 (the sixth day of the year).
He said that he understands that citizens do not want to stay at home during the holiday, so they will reopen the less exposed outdoor sports venues on February 4, so that citizens can still relax, and will require the person in charge to conduct regular inspections for the staff and request the use of " Travel with peace of mind" or other methods to keep visit records.
