New Coronary Pneumonia|Omicron's multiple mutations, Xiao Jieheng: Suspected transmission of transmission back to humans

[12:23] The world is facing the threat of a variant of the new crown virus Omicron. Xiao Jieheng, an associate professor of the Department of Medical Technology and Informatics of the University of Technology, said on a commercial TV program this morning that Omicron's gene mutation is abnormal and the evolution speed is fast, which is different from the past change rhythm.

He estimated that the new coronavirus may have been transmitted to animals, and then returned to humans, causing genetic mutations, "as if they were completely replaced by another shirt."



He Boliang, director of the Infection and Infectious Diseases Center of the University of Hong Kong, said that the new crown virus has always been mainly transmitted from person to person. Even if there have been cases of human infection of animals, it is not the mainstream situation, and it has not become an endemic disease. He also pointed out that the source has been difficult to trace. .

70% of the vaccination rate is insufficient to deal with Omicron Kong Fanyi advocates that vaccine passports are restricted to restaurants and injections are required

[11:25] Earlier, it was reported that the government intends to introduce vaccine passports, requiring citizens to be vaccinated before they can enter restaurants and premises, which aroused social opposition.

The Secretary for Food and Health, Chen Zhaoshi, said yesterday that it is still under study.



Hong Fanyi, a clinical professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Hong Kong, stated on the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millenniums" this morning (30th) that in response to the Omicron variant virus, Hong Kong’s foreign import prevention measures are sufficient, but there are still three adults who have not been vaccinated. It is necessary to push the vaccine passport, and before entering restaurants and theaters, injections are required, and the vaccination rate is expected to reach 90% or more.

New Coronary Pneumonia | Chen Zhaoshi: Not fully grasping Omicron's external defense measures should be tight rather than loose

[09:03] The Director of the Food and Health Bureau, Chen Zhaoshi, stated on the TV and TV program this morning (30th) that although there is not much information about Omicron in the world at present, the anti-epidemic measures for foreign imports should be tight rather than loose. It is hoped that the Hong Kong epidemic will be affected by the world.

She continued that when we have more information in the future, it is possible to adjust the 7-day requirement for arrival and stay in Penny's Bay, and the number of days will be adjusted according to the data.



Scotland and Portugal also suspect community outbreaks involving the Omicron variant virus, but the Hong Kong government has not included it as the highest risk country.

Chen Zhaoshi said that the Health Protection Center is contacting the local health department to obtain the latest information, and then adjust its strategy depending on whether the local infection will break out.

She also said that for the time being, there is no need to completely ban people from areas where Omicron cases have occurred. They will pay attention to the countermeasures of other countries before deciding on Hong Kong's response.

Mandatory Testing | 13 Schools Outbreak of Upper Respiratory Tract Infections Happy Valley Blood Kindergarten Listed

[00:01] Hong Kong’s local new crown pneumonia epidemic eased, but threatened by the variant Omicron case, the Food and Health Bureau included 15 designated places in the mandatory testing announcement, including Happy Valley Blood Kindergarten and Stanley St. Peter’s Church Stanley Kindergarten, etc. 13 schools.
