The fifth wave of the epidemic is out of control and broke out in many districts in Hong Kong. There are voices who have been hoping that the government will find out the invisible transmission chain through "national testing". If the Hong Kong government's capacity is limited, it should seek help from the mainland.
Before attending the Executive Council this morning (8th), Chief Executive Carrie Lam once again reiterated that the government's capacity is limited. In terms of testing and treatment, he believes that focusing on the use of testing capabilities rather than dispersing them can maximize benefits.
Carrie Lam explained that the most important principles of anti-epidemic strategies are speed, precision and focus, because the manpower and material resources behind each measure are a race of needs and time. It is hoped that the society must understand that anti-epidemic must be "accurate", and that no government is not useful. exhausted energy.
She agreed to improve the detection capacity, so she had earlier requested support from Guangdong Province to re-establish the "Huoyan Laboratory" in Ma'anshan. The two sides have "straight line" contact in this regard. Several batches of laboratory personnel have arrived in Hong Kong in the past few days.

Lin Zheng pointed out that yesterday was the first working day after the end of the Chinese New Year holiday in the Mainland. The Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office has contacted the Hong Kong government to convey concerns, greetings, encouragement and support over the epidemic, indicating that the central government can provide support at any time according to the needs of the SAR.
However, with the further spread of the epidemic, Carrie Lam once again denied the need for "all-people testing". She believes that with limited resources, the government's testing capabilities should be concentrated in the community enclosure and forced inspection. For example, according to the current model, buildings can be enclosed overnight. Or the community, the infected person cases identified by the foreign agent can be immediately reported the next day.
Past experience has shown that dozens of confirmed cases can even be found within one night in a single enclosure. It is believed that this model can be more effective in preventing confirmed cases from entering the community.
Earlier, the government announced to seek support from the mainland to re-establish the "Fire Eye Laboratory" in Ma On Shan. The project is currently in full swing and is expected to be completed within this month, increasing the daily single-tube testing volume to 300,000.
Carrie Lam's pre-conference press conference this morning was significantly simplified. After answering three questions, it was over. After the announcement of the trade meeting, she will personally announce the tightening of a series of epidemic prevention measures today, and she will also explain how to further improve testing. ability.
