The government canceled the arrangement of scanning the QR code and yellow code for "travel with peace of mind" earlier. Ho Pak-leung, director of the Center for Infection and Infectious Diseases of the University of Hong Kong, said on the radio today (19th) that the epidemic has plagued Hong Kong for the past three years, and called on the Hong Kong government to "clean up" before New Year's Eve. Post some useless things (measures), he thinks that the daily quick test for students and the mandatory inspection of buildings should be cancelled, and only the number of hospitalizations and ventilators should be announced.
He predicts that the epidemic situation in the mainland will remain at a high level until at least February next year. He suggested that the Hong Kong government can reserve a batch of bivalent vaccines for mainlanders in Hong Kong who have enough time to receive booster doses, so as to create conditions for customs clearance between the two places in January.

Advocate the cancellation of quick test for students and compulsory building inspection
He also said that at present, there are still people guarding the entrance of the hospital every day, sending out paper to detect the temperature, describing the measures as "meaningless" with little effect, and even the New Territories Hospital has taken the lead in canceling these measures.
He also pointed out that at present, the mainland does not count mild cases and has reduced nucleic acid testing. If there are no symptoms, nucleic acid testing is not required. He believes that Hong Kong can also follow the example and cancel the arrangements for rapid testing of students and mandatory building inspections.
He also pointed out that most of the cases in Hong Kong are mild cases, and taking into account these figures is of little significance, we can focus on publishing the figures of hospitalization and use of ventilators.
