Epidemic ｜ Mak Meijuan has not been contacted by the Department of Health since she was infected with the disease earlier to advocate for the establishment of additional elderly fundraising in designated clinics

The fifth wave of the epidemic continues. Mak Meijuan, a member of the Legislative Council of the Federation of Trade Unions who has recovered from the virus earlier, said that the report has not been contacted by the Department of Health so far, and she understands that the public feels helpless.

She also suggested that the HA should set up a fund for the elderly in the "designated clinics" of new crown patients to ensure that there are enough places in the clinics in each district, otherwise many patients will miss the best time to seek medical treatment.

Mai Meijuan and her family were diagnosed in the second half of last month, and it is estimated that the source was infected when her father visited.

She took a nucleic acid test on February 24, and the result was positive and she developed symptoms. However, no DH staff has contacted her since the report.

His father received a positive report on the 9th day after submitting the deep throat saliva sample, and received a call from the authorities two days later, but his father had recovered by then.

Mai Meijuan said on the radio program that she learned that many citizens were infected with the whole family, lost support, and were forced to go out to buy what they needed, and the hotline has been blocked for a long time. I understand that the citizens are helpless.

She urged the government to mobilize forces from all walks of life as soon as possible, pointing out that even if there are ample supplies, someone must deliver them.

Regarding the Hong Kong government's recruitment of personnel from the mainland to come to Hong Kong to support the fight against the epidemic, Mak Meijuan pointed out that the process was not smooth, with only a few dozen applicants for 1,000 places. The recruiting method is clearly not feasible.

Mak Meijuan also suggested that the Hospital Authority should increase the number of designated clinics for new crown patients, and at the same time increase the elderly fund, so as to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment and provide medicines.

She mentioned that the authorities will have 200,000 doses of new drugs by the end of the month, but the problem lies in the delivery speed. She pointed out that the new drugs must be taken within 5 days of the onset to achieve the best effect, and she is worried about whether the authorities will be able to deploy manpower to distribute the drugs in time.

Di Zhiyuan: Social welfare is like working on the edge of hell

Di Zhiyuan said that although the government emphasizes that there are sufficient supplies, the region feels a gap. He believes that the problem lies in the shortage of manpower rather than materials. He urged the government to mobilize more people as soon as possible, organize a regional network, and let government commissioners cooperate with civil society organizations. Materials are distributed to citizens in need.

He described the social welfare sector as working on the brink of hell due to the lack of equipment and manpower in the past ten days. He criticized the government for not deploying it early, various departments only shirk their responsibilities, and the people can only save themselves.

He pointed out that the authorities are not in a combat state, and the policy is still gradually assessing risks, holding meetings, and formulating guidelines, urging the government to set specific goals, such as when the dynamic reset will be achieved, under what circumstances can it resume work and customs clearance, and how to deal with sporadic cases after the epidemic is under control.
