Adjusting measures does not mean that the epidemic is over
The Hong Kong government relaxed five anti-epidemic measures yesterday, including canceling mandatory scanning to travel with peace of mind.
Lu Chongmao emphasized on the radio program today that the adjustment measures do not mean that the epidemic is over, and the epidemic still affects everyone, especially the elderly and young children.
Lu Chongmao said that outsiders should continue the rapid nucleic acid test, thinking that there are still new mutant virus strains, and the main mutant virus strains are imported from outside, so they cannot relax.
If the number of people entering the country increases in the future, adjustments to immigration measures will be announced if necessary, but the new crown virus is still a public health problem.
Lu Chongmao: Pushing the vaccine pass is to encourage injections
Lu Chongmao said that the role of the vaccine passport is very important. Many countries around the world have similar laws or measures to promote citizens to get injections. He reiterated that 38% of the elderly over the age of 80 in Hong Kong have not completed the three-shot vaccination. Once the elderly are infected, it will cause serious damage to the medical system. The load is very heavy, and the vaccine pass is mainly to encourage citizens to get injections.
I hope that everyone will not make the wrong targets and enemies. (Retaining the vaccine pass) is to encourage everyone to get injections, not to insist on promoting the vaccine pass.
