The new crown pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong has rebounded, and the number of confirmed cases in a single day has exceeded 1,000.
Ho Pak-leung, director of the Centre for Infection and Infectious Diseases at the University of Hong Kong, believes that Hong Kong is currently in the stage of returning to normal, and many places are also easing restrictions in an orderly manner, and the overall increase in cases is in line with expectations.
He pointed out that the public should check whether the vaccinations have been completed. If they have been vaccinated, "2,000 or 3,000 cases a day will not have a big impact on the overall direction of the return to normal."
As the July 1st approaching, some invited people were required to start a "point-to-point" closed-loop management one week before the event, and they were quarantined at the hotel for one day from the day before the event.
He Bailiang believes that the arrangement is relatively looser than expected. If leaders visit Hong Kong, arrangements should be made foolproof, especially those who have close contact with leaders may consider entering designated places for isolation seven days ago.
Regarding the epidemic situation in Macau, Ho Pak Leung pointed out that Macau is in a "zero tolerance" stage for local cases, and everything from the discovery of local cases to the launch of nationwide testing is in good order. It is believed that the epidemic can be brought under control in a short period of time.

He Bailiang said on the RTHK program "Millennium" today (21st) that the current increase in the number of confirmed cases in Hong Kong is within expectations, and it is believed that it will have little impact on the general direction of the return to normal.
He also pointed out that during the influenza outbreak, the HA recorded between 500 and 1,000 deaths each year, saying that "there are thousands of cases that the public should not be overly concerned about."
As for the more than 100 imported cases, he believes that there is no need to tighten immigration measures, because the global positive cases are on a downward trend, and the main circulating virus strain is Omicron, which is similar to the virus strain in the Hong Kong community.
I don't understand why the government didn't arrange for door-to-door vaccination
In terms of residential care, He Bailiang pointed out that the elderly may still be re-infected after three months of infection, and if the re-infected elderly over 80 years old have not been vaccinated, they may also become severely ill. Oral medication should be prescribed as soon as possible and removed from the nursing home as soon as possible.
He also said that the current home injections in residential homes are basically Kexing, but there is a lot of data showing that if the elderly are vaccinated with Fubitai, the effect is better, and there is no safety concern. The reason is that the government has not arranged for door-to-door vaccinations.” I hope the next government can correct the shortcomings.

It is recommended that those who have the opportunity to have close contact with leaders should be quarantined for seven days
As July 1 approaches, He Boliang believes that there will be an increase in large-scale celebrations. He reminds those involved in the event to avoid removing masks. "If too many people remove masks, the risk of group outbreaks will increase because there are still active transmission chains in the community."
Regarding the "point-to-point" closed-loop management of the invited people from one week in advance, he believes that it is relatively looser than expected. He believes that if leaders visit Hong Kong, arrangements should be foolproof, and those who have close contact with leaders should enter the designated area seven days ago. Location isolation.
There have also been a number of confirmed cases in Macau recently. He Bailiang pointed out that the stage of the epidemic in Macau is different from that in Hong Kong. Macau is in a "zero-tolerance" stage for community cases, which is believed to be due to the fact that the overall proportion of elderly people over 60 years old is still unsatisfactory.
He also pointed out that Macao's national testing and epidemic prevention measures are well prepared and efficient in all aspects. From the occurrence of local cases to the launch of national testing, everything is in good order. He believes that there are sufficient drills beforehand, and there are big data for various arrangements. I believe the epidemic can be cured. controllable in a short period of time.
