Tomorrow (9th) is the annual Mother's Day. Xu Shuchang, a government expert consultant and chair professor of the Department of Respiratory System of the Chinese University, said on a radio program today (8th) that the community still has an invisible transmission chain and will continue to have unidentified cases. Fortunately, the mutant virus has not caused a major outbreak in the community, but we still need to pay close attention to the situation.
He also said that citizens should try their best to avoid crowded places and take adequate measures to prevent epidemics. Even if they are gatherings on Mother's Day, they should not hold crowded parties and they should wear masks after meals before talking.

Xu Shuchang stated on the commercial program "Political and Economic Saturday" that citizens should not stay in crowded places for long periods of time, and should take adequate preventive measures, wear masks and wash hands frequently, and should not host people even if they are gatherings on Mother's Day. If you have many parties, you should also wear a mask after the meal before talking.
He believes that there is still an invisible transmission chain in Hong Kong. Fortunately, there is no sign of a major outbreak of the mutant virus in the community. He described it as "unlucky". It is also because the public is self-disciplined to prevent a major outbreak. It took a while to find out whether the mutant virus had taken root.
Regarding the future strategy of preventing variant viruses, he believes that foreign import prevention is still crucial, and some countries with severe epidemics should ban their flights to Hong Kong, including India and Nepal.
As for the quarantine hotel, he said that if the corridor is not well-ventilated, an air filter should be installed.
As for the quality of hotel sampling and testing, he said that the quality of the sample of the Indian male (Case 11643) cannot be ruled out. If you want more accurate testing, nasopharyngeal swab testing should be used, but higher specifications are required.
