There may be nothing to do for a long time, maybe the consciousness is lax, and some employees are not allowed. In fact, many citizens feel that there is nothing to do without problems. But it is always because of lack of crisis awareness and a false sense of security. Make our behavior deviate.

Secretary of Health: Many citizens lack crisis awareness

The Director of the Health Bureau Luo Yilong emphasized that before the opening of each quarantine hotel, the Health Bureau sent personnel to inspect the site, including air ventilation, and severely criticized them for serious violations of epidemic prevention guidelines and non-compliance with common sense. Whether a person wears a mask or does things according to our guidelines... His consciousness is not strong enough, in fact, consciousness determines his behavior. They may feel that it is a long time, and they are really in isolation for medical observation. During this period, there are very few people who get sick, because most of our cases are diagnosed and quarantined as soon as the tests are carried out. It may be done for a long period of time without any problems, and may be lax in consciousness. Some employees are not allowed. In fact, many citizens I feel that if I have nothing to do, there is nothing to do. But it is always because of lack of crisis awareness. A false sense of security will make our behavior deviate."

Two quarantine hotels communicate with another guest to extend quarantine for at least 7 days

As for other hotel guests, Liang Yihao said that the Golden Crown China Hotel is connected to the Jinbaolai Hotel. Some guests of the two hotels will complete their own isolation period in the past two days. The test results of the code, yellow code area, etc., will be studied and judged for the extension of the isolation period of the returned people. Initially, it will be no less than one week. Moving in first every day requires 21 days (isolation), which is enough to observe the risk of 21 days.” Since extending the isolation is a public health consideration, the authorities will consider the relevant cost arrangements.

Macau began a three-day national test yesterday. As of 3pm, 314,000 people have been tested, and all 161,000 people have tested negative.

Luo Yilong reminded those who have not been tested at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon to go to public places, take public transportation, or leave the country.
