The fifth wave of the new crown epidemic has intensified. Leung Pak-yin, the former chief executive of the Hospital Authority and a member of the vaccination plan task force, wrote an article on social networking sites again, saying that the epidemic has developed to the current stage, and the containment policy is no longer suitable and sustainable. He pointed out that after the vaccinated people were infected with the Omicron variant virus, the disease was relatively mild, and he believed that the government should adopt a mitigation strategy as soon as possible to strengthen the incentives for vaccination, "(The Department of Health and the Hospital Authority) should stick to your professional judgment, take good care of yourself. It is recommended that the policy bureau change the current epidemic control plan and end the epidemic as soon as possible!”

Liang Baixian has taken the lead in expressing his position on the "clearing" strategy earlier, saying that with the emergence of the Omicron pandemic, the epidemic has entered a new stage, and it is believed that it is difficult to practice "clearing".

Chen Qizong, chairman of Hang Lung Group and Hang Lung Properties, pointed out at a press conference today that if the virus must be highly lethal, the zero-clearing policy should be maintained.

Chief Executive Carrie Lam said at a press conference today that the number of new confirmed cases has repeatedly hit a single-day high, and there are as many as 30 local cases of unknown origin, reflecting that there are many invisible transmission chains in the community, and the government has already determined the fifth wave of the epidemic from the beginning.

"It doesn't matter that Hong Kong cannot have local infection cases, but it should be able to curb the spread." For example, Wang Yuelou and the dancing group have been blocked.
