[15:45] A spokesperson for the Hospital Authority said that as of 9 am today, a total of 6 confirmed patients have been discharged from the hospital in the past 24 hours. So far, a total of 12,029 confirmed or suspected patients have recovered and discharged.
At present, public hospitals have opened 581 negative pressure wards with a total of 1,065 negative pressure beds. There are currently 50 confirmed patients in 11 public hospitals and the Hong Kong Infection Control Center of North Lantau Hospital. All conditions are stable.
[15:39] Kexing submitted information to the Department of Health in mid-October, suggesting that the vaccination age threshold be lowered to 3 years old.
Xu Lejian
said that the data is currently being reviewed and will be submitted to the Vaccine Expert Committee for re-examination. The current information has not been submitted to the committee for review.
The authorities are also studying whether to revise the discharge standards.
[15:33]
Xu Lejian
continued that most of the recent confirmed cases in Hong Kong are immigration cases. An airport employee was diagnosed earlier, and the employee is still suspected of being infected in the aircraft cabin. The authorities have immediately isolated more than 400 close contacts. Nearly 3,000 workers are required to undergo mandatory inspections, and the buildings where the employees live are also subject to mandatory inspections, and all the data show that there is no dissemination.
The teenagers who were asked to receive only one injection were deemed to have not completed the vaccination and were not allowed to return to Hong Kong.
Xu explained that in response to local risks, there were no local cases, so only one injection was arranged. However, the risks overseas are different. He is currently studying whether to allow young people who only received one injection to return to Hong Kong, but emphasized that there must be corresponding quarantine measures.
[15:30] As for the mandatory use of "safe travel" arrangements in government places,
Xu Lejian
said that the Department of Health will take appropriate
action
according to the situation.
Li Liye
said that the Hospital Authority provides exemptions for citizens under 12 or 65 years of age. It is believed that this includes most groups without smartphones. In the event that there is no mobile phone, the Hospital Authority will give priority to the treatment of patients. Deal with it loosely.
[15:23]
Xu Lejian
continued that 99% of imported cases were diagnosed within 14 days of the quarantine period, and 100% were diagnosed within 21 days, showing that the current quarantine measures are effective.
Hong Kong will also pay close attention to the development of the new "AY.4.2" Delta variant virus (commonly known as Delta Plus virus). There is currently no related case in Hong Kong.
He pointed out that the local and overseas data on the third injection are now being reviewed, and the vaccine expert group will meet tomorrow to discuss.
[15:15]
Xu Lejian
said that as of October 25, 4.59 million had received the first dose of vaccine, with an inoculation rate of 68.2%; and those who received both injections accounted for 65% of the eligible population.
He said that the rate of injections among the elderly is relatively low. If the variant virus spreads, it will cause greater harm to groups that are not protected by the vaccine. In addition, they are more likely to have serious complications, and the consequences can be very serious.
He described the current poor vaccination rate for the elderly, especially those living in residential institutions, and called on the elderly to get injections to prevent the double attack of influenza and the new crown virus.

In the past 4 weeks, there were 130 imported cases, 114 of which, or about 87%, were related to L452R and N501Y mutant viruses, 34% of which were related to Delta mutant viruses. The cases were mainly from the Philippines, Pakistan, Indonesia, and sporadic cases were from the United Kingdom. .
Of the 213 deaths, 93% involved elderly people 60 years of age or older. The proportion of deaths increased with age. The mortality rate was 23% between 80 and 89 years old, and 32% were over 90 years old.
As for the 137 cases in residential care homes for the elderly, the mortality rate reached 28%.

Wu Yongen pointed out that the supply of frozen chicken wings and other foods has been significantly reduced, and prices are expected to increase by 10% to 15%. As for rice, due to contractual constraints, it is believed that the price will not go up and down.
However, the global supply chain is expected to become clear after the epidemic is over.
Lam Cheng: The sooner you clear customs with the Mainland, the better, and most of the quarantine exemptions for overseas visits to Hong Kong will be cancelled
[10:21] Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said that the SAR government is striving to resume customs clearance with the mainland and has submitted opinions to the central government to make Hong Kong’s epidemic prevention measures more consistent with those in the mainland. Apart from citizens entering government premises, they must use "safe travel". Part of the quarantine exemption into the Hong Kong group will also be cancelled.
She said that only urgent necessity and industries related to the operation of Hong Kong will continue to be exempted, such as cross-border truck drivers. It is hoped that the implementation of the measures will give the central government more confidence in customs clearance.
"Hong Kong 01" earlier quoted news that the government is striving to start the first phase of customs clearance in December.
Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said that the earlier the Hong Kong government’s goal, the better, and that it will proceed from small to large in an orderly manner. The scale of customs clearance at the beginning will be small. Unlike before the epidemic, citizens can choose to enter and exit the mainland through multiple ports.

He emphasized that the vaccination always depends on the wishes and confidence of the parents.

In addition, 6 schools had outbreaks of upper respiratory tract infection and/or influenza-like illnesses.
