Hong Kong's new crown virus is hovering at a high level, with 6,260 new confirmed cases on Monday (19th), falling back to the level of 6,000, down about 14.5% from yesterday.
The average real-time effective reproduction rate of local cases compiled by the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong dropped to 0.91, and the epidemic is expected to drop again.
Yuan Guoyong, Chair Professor of the Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, HKU, together with three other experts from the University of Hong Kong, wrote an article titled "The New Coronary Epidemic Will Make Hong Kong Return to Normal", pointing out that although the Omicron variant is less toxic and has a stronger "immune escape ability", 3 doses of the vaccine are still effective.
The team believes that the fatality rate of the epidemic has dropped to 0.097% recently. It is blunt that the new crown virus has become an endemic disease, and Hong Kong should gradually return to normal, emphasizing that "Hong Kong is absolutely capable of further realizing the 0+7 plan, or even a more aggressive plan."
Chief Executive Li Jiachao attended the pre-executive press conference this morning and was expected to be asked about the progress of the relaxation of entry quarantine to "0+7".
