The first case of a British variant virus of unknown origin occurred in Hong Kong.

The Secretary for Food and Health, Chen Zhaoshi, published a blog today (6th) stating that although the fourth wave of the local epidemic has ended, the global epidemic is unstable. It is necessary to guard against the arrival of the fifth wave at any time, and because the mutant virus is more infectious, Once it erupts, it may spread rapidly in a short period of time.

Chen Zhaoshi also said that mass vaccination is the only effective way to get out of the epidemic, and the current stock of Fubitel will expire in mid-August this year.

She continued that even if the public's demand for vaccines will increase substantially, it will not be possible to replenish them within this year due to the time required for vaccine production and transportation. She urged the public to seize the time and vaccinate as soon as possible.

She said that once the fifth wave of the epidemic breaks out, citizens who have not been vaccinated will need to abide by stricter regulations and restrictions.

Chen Zhaoshi published a blog on the topic of "Quick Vaccine in the City". He mentioned that the vaccination plan has just exceeded 100 days, and more than 2.5 million doses of the new crown vaccine have been vaccinated for citizens, of which about 1.45 million citizens have received the first dose. , And more than 1 million people have received the second dose.

She said that she will announce the schedule for vaccination of 12 to 15-year-olds with Fubitai vaccine as soon as possible.

Chen Zhaoshi also pointed out that for the vaccines that have already arrived in Hong Kong, there are about 2 million doses of Coxing and Fubitai vaccines, of which Fubitai must be stored at ultra-low temperature, and the useful life is relatively short, which is about 3 to 4 after arrival in Hong Kong. Months, the current stock of Fubitai will expire in mid-August. To avoid wasting vaccines, the government will first estimate the excess vaccines, and then discuss with the drug manufacturers how to deal with them, including delayed delivery and non-delivery parts. Batch vaccines, or donate them to other places in need of vaccines through the World Health Organization's global vaccine acquisition mechanism.

She continued that due to the time required for production, quality control, and transportation, even if the public's demand for vaccines increases, the relevant vaccines cannot be supplemented this year.

In order to prevent the fifth wave of the epidemic, Chen Zhaoshi called on citizens to be vaccinated.

She said that the mutant virus strain is more contagious. Once the epidemic breaks out, it may spread rapidly in a short period of time. Take Taiwan as an example, the number of confirmed cases has risen from over 1,000 to over 9,000 in a short period of time.

She continued that if the fifth wave of epidemics comes, in order to avoid a large-scale outbreak, citizens who have not been vaccinated will be required to abide by stricter regulations and restrictions. When they are classified as close contacts, they need to undergo a longer quarantine period; Individual high-risk industries also need to undergo more frequent testing.

Chen Zhaoshi also pointed out that due to the high risk of large-scale infections in places such as restaurants, schools, dormitories, construction sites, libraries, museums, theaters, performance venues, and sports venues, when the fifth wave of epidemics arrives, they will study whether to restrict them. Some people who have been vaccinated have entered the above-mentioned places.
