The government has relaxed the entry restrictions for overseas arrivals to "0+3". Ko Wing-man, a member of the Executive Council and former Secretary for Food and Health, believes that this is an appropriate approach, and is by no means "flattening", stressing that every decision of the government must be carefully considered and prevent and reduce the infection of the new crown.

He said that it is difficult for the Hong Kong government to submit a timetable for epidemic prevention, because it needs to monitor the trend of the epidemic after the implementation of "0+3" before it can make a next decision, but stressed that the government "will not go back."


Recognize that it is difficult to achieve "dynamic clearing"

Ko Wing-man said after attending the event today (25th) that some Western countries underestimate the impact of the epidemic, describing it as a "very bad example", emphasizing that the Hong Kong government has repeatedly stated that its policies are aimed at preventing and reducing new crown infections.

He admits that Hong Kong has missed a good opportunity. In the face of the fifth wave of large-scale infections, it is indeed difficult to achieve "dynamic clearing" in the short term. Therefore, the government has decided to relax the entry restrictions after balancing the interests of all parties and referring to the figures of the Hospital Authority: "These points are all in response to the community's demand for restarting economic activities, so I think (relaxation) is appropriate, and it definitely does not mean that the government is taking a flat response."

He said that the government has stated that the policy direction is to prevent and reduce the infection of the new crown virus. Going backwards, but the WHO has not declared the end of the pandemic and needs to be careful about the rebound of the epidemic.

It is necessary to deploy and treat people with "long new crown" as soon as possible

Ko Wing-man pointed out that the strategy of "coexisting with the virus" has never been an option for Hong Kong. He pointed out that when overseas places responded to the epidemic, it was assumed that the new crown virus was similar to the seasonal flu, and ultimately paid a heavy price.

He pointed out that the new coronavirus will continue to mutate. Although the severity of the virus will decrease, its transmission will continue to increase. Therefore, in the short or medium term, no one can expect "zero infection" in the world. I believe that the Center for Protection said recently that the society may "coexist with the new crown disease". The statement does not mean that we support "coexistence with the virus".

Gao Yongwen also pointed out that the authorities need to deploy and treat patients suffering from the sequelae of the "long new crown" as soon as possible. It is recommended that the government collect data to understand the number, symptoms and scale of the patients, and then set treatment guidelines for public and private hospitals, and divert some patients to the private sector. Hospitals make good use of the combination of Chinese and Western medicine to provide patients with appropriate and effective treatment.
