As the mutant virus Omicron spreads in the community, Chief Executive Carrie Lam said yesterday (11th) that the fifth round of anti-epidemic funds will be announced on Friday, targeting premises directly affected by tightened anti-epidemic measures and industries that have been frozen for a long time.
Shao Jiahui, a member of the wholesale and retail sector and the Liberal Party, welcomes the government to announce subsidies for affected industries as soon as possible. As for the amount of subsidies, he expects that the amount of subsidies may be lower than the fourth round, depending on whether the chain of transmission can be cut in the community in the next 14 days.
However, Shao Jiahui said that he is not optimistic about the industry's resumption of work after 14 days, because after the third and fourth waves of the epidemic broke out in Hong Kong, the government will still have a period of monitoring before relaxing the epidemic prevention measures. .

In the fourth round of the epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic fund, the subsidies for beauty salons are divided into 30,000, 60,000 and 100,000 yuan according to the number of employees.
Shao Jiahui said in the Hong Kong and Taiwan program that for small beauty salons, they can still help them; for medium-sized or even large beauty salons, there are 100 to 200 employees, and the subsidy of 100,000 yuan is just insufficient for them.
He stressed that he had written to Carrie Lam earlier, proposing to pay rent for larger beauty salons, or pay salaries for their employees.
Shaw Ka-fai pointed out that he had met with industries such as beauty salons, associations and game centers earlier. He said that many industries hoped to resume business as soon as possible, and also hoped that the government would not be one-size-fits-all to them, requiring them to suspend their business completely every time there was an outbreak.
In addition, he mentioned that some industries have put forward suggestions, hoping that the government will implement the vaccine bubble in advance.
