[07:20] The fifth wave of the new crown virus epidemic has a tendency to retreat. Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor announced yesterday (21st) that the implementation of compulsory nationwide testing will be suspended.
Earlier, in response to the epidemic, the central government assisted the construction of a number of community isolation facilities (also known as makeshift hospitals), which can provide more than 50,000 beds in total. So far, 4 projects have been put into use.
The compulsory testing of the whole people will not be implemented in the short term. Is there still a need for makeshift hospitals?
Liang Zichao, a respiratory specialist, said that even if the government suspends nationwide testing, it is still possible to strengthen testing in the future.
He believes that the current cases are starting to decline, and suggested that confirmed patients should be sent to makeshift hospitals for isolation as soon as possible to reduce the risk of community transmission; even if there are still remaining units, some of them can be repurposed for quarantine and other purposes. Lin Zhexuan, a member of the Legislative Council in the medical and health sector, also agrees that the square cabin hospital is used to isolate patients, and after the epidemic, it can even be converted into a social housing.
