The fifth wave of the new crown virus epidemic remains high. Yesterday (23rd), 12,240 new confirmed cases were reported.

However, the director of the Centre for Health Protection, Xu Lejian, pointed out that some citizens have not been tested at all, and the figures may not fully reflect the real situation. In the areas where the Omicron epidemic was once hit, there were fluctuations during the high plateau period, which is called a shock decline.

The fifth wave of cases has accumulated 1,075,519 confirmed cases, with a mortality rate of 0.59%.

[08:00] The global new crown pneumonia epidemic has been repeated, and the Hong Kong government has imposed a "no-fly order" on nine countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada since the beginning of this year.

The 16-year-old Hong Kong student Huang is currently studying in the UK. His grandfather died of the epidemic in Hong Kong earlier, but due to the flight ban, he missed seeing his relatives for the last time.

The government announced that the ban will be lifted on April 1. He hopes to return to Hong Kong to attend the funeral, but even if he has bought a very small number of flights, he has yet to book a quarantine hotel, which makes him hesitant. He hopes that the authorities will allow those returning to Hong Kong to undergo home quarantine if they meet certain conditions, so as to avoid the pain of booking hotels.

[08:00] The epidemic situation is severe, and primary and secondary school students all have early summer vacation. During this period, the Social Enterprise Primary School Church Development Fund and the children's team of CEO Kids International held an online workshop called "Occupational Search". 16 people from different industries, including e-sports and chocolate tasters, were invited to introduce different emerging industries to children and parents to help them plan their future.

The person in charge, Wang Kuangwen, said that many parents still believe that being a doctor and a lawyer is the only way to get ahead. The purpose of holding this event is to hope that children and parents will have a better understanding of emerging industries, so as to help children plan their future directions from an early age.

The four tigers are the worst, 2 and 3.5 times higher than South Korea and Singapore, respectively, and not comparable to Taiwan, where only 853 patients died. The death toll ratio in Hong Kong is also 3.5 times higher than that in Japan.
