The number of confirmed cases has gradually declined, and the society is gradually returning to normal. It is believed that the main reason for the recent increase in the number of confirmed cases is that the vaccination rate in Hong Kong has remained at a high level, and the severe and fatality rates have remained stable. The government should no longer focus on the number of confirmed cases. Instead, it is necessary to further provide "gu injections" to 600,000 people who have not been vaccinated for the third time.
