The government recently launched a "vaccine bubble" measure to increase the vaccination rate. Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said yesterday (4th) that it will study shortening the number of quarantine days for people who have completed vaccination.
Respiratory system specialist Liang Zichao said on a program in Hong Kong and Taiwan this morning (5th) that there is no scientific basis for the arrangement of shortening the number of quarantine days. Vaccines cannot shorten the incubation period of the virus. In particular, there is less information about vaccines against variant viruses. The argument of quarantine has a "big question mark," and it has been criticized for facilitating the quarantine. Once there are cases of leakage, more citizens may be subject to 21st quarantine.
In addition, mutant viruses have gradually flowed into the community. He believes that people entering the country should be tested for antibodies, and during the hotel quarantine period, an additional test should be added on the third day to detect patients as soon as possible.

Liang Zichao said on the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millenniums" that the current society is facing the threat of variant viruses, and the government hopes to clear it as soon as possible so that no related cases can be leaked.
Regarding the government's plan to reduce the number of quarantine days for those who have completed the vaccination, he bluntly said that the relevant argument lacks scientific basis. The current 21-day quarantine period has leaked, emphasizing that the vaccine has nothing to do with the long incubation period, especially the current vaccine on the variant virus.
He continued that although other countries may have arrangements for shortening the isolation period, places such as the United States have no plans to clear them, and everyone faces different environments.
He also described that shortening the quarantine arrangement is facilitating or making the situation more dangerous. Once there is a leak, more citizens may need to be quarantined on the 21st.
For the government who intends to study the completion of vaccination, the number of isolation days can be shortened. Liang Zichao bluntly said that there is no scientific basis for the relevant statement (data picture)
When asked about the recent cases of variant virus, Liang Zichao said that the cases of Allway Gardens Filipino domestic helpers and Indian housewives of Tsim Sha Tsui had both tested for antibodies to the virus, and the amount of the virus was low. Before the diagnosis was confirmed, repeated tests were repeated, which is believed to be a Fuyang case. , Instead of sampling problems or re-infection, the threat to the community may not be great.
However, because the two other foreign domestic helpers who were initially diagnosed were friends, Liang Zichao believed that it was an active transmission, which was extremely dangerous.
He suggested that in addition to testing for antibodies to people entering the country, additional testing should be added on the third day of the hotel's quarantine period to detect cases as soon as possible and remove them from the hotel.
