Hong Kong is gradually returning to normal. Kong Fanyi, a government expert consultant and clinical professor of the Department of Internal Medicine of the University of Hong Kong, said on the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millennium" this morning (10th) that the mainland has implemented "Class B and B Control" for the new crown virus, that is, It is not much different from the flu; moreover, the symptoms of the recently diagnosed patients are mild and the risk is not great. I think the isolation order for the confirmed patients can be canceled at this moment. As long as the illness is not severe, they can go to work as usual while wearing a mask.
In terms of customs clearance, he also believes that if the number of confirmed cases does not increase, cross-border people can use rapid tests to replace nucleic acid tests.
Kong Fanyi also pointed out that Hong Kong has mixed immunity, and it is estimated that about 5 million people have been infected. However, in the long run, vaccination against the new crown is like a flu vaccine. High-risk people should receive the new crown vaccine every winter.

Kong Fanyi said that the immune barrier in Hong Kong is very high. In addition to vaccination, it is estimated that about 5 million people have been infected and have mixed immunity. The quarantine order for confirmed cases should be canceled as soon as possible. The mainland has implemented "Class B and B control" for the new crown virus , which is not much different from influenza.
Asked if he still has to go to work even if he is diagnosed, Kong Fanyi said that the situation is actually like a common flu or cold. If you have symptoms such as fever, it is not recommended to go to work.
However, after the fever subsides, if the physical condition permits, "wear a mask and continue to return to work."
He also pointed out that the cancellation of the isolation order is an expert opinion, and it has already been implemented under the conditions.

However, the death rate of the new crown has not dropped in recent days, and the death rate after three injections has also increased.
Kong Fanyi said that he noticed the relevant situation, pointing out that the deceased who were still infected after three injections generally had been more than half a year since the third injection, and many of them were elderly over 80 years old, and some of them had long-term illnesses.
When asked which vaccine the deceased usually received, Kong Fanyi said that most people received the inactivated vaccine for all three shots. According to data, the neutralizing antibody produced by the inactivated vaccine is not as high as that of the mRNA vaccine, which is also more effective. virus, it is recommended that the elderly should be vaccinated with a bivalent vaccine.
Currently, the inactivated vaccine provided by Hong Kong is Sinovac, and the mRNA is Fubitai.

Kong Fanyi said that in the long run, the new crown vaccine is the same as the flu shot. Every year after winter, the elderly and other high-risk people should receive the new crown vaccine booster, especially the new vaccine, which is aimed at the virus at that time.
In addition, China and Hong Kong have recently been exempted from quarantine and customs clearance, but they still need to undergo nucleic acid testing first.
Kong Fanyi believes that if the number of local confirmed cases does not increase significantly, rapid tests can be used instead of nucleic acids, and even the testing requirements are abolished. I believe that customs clearance will have little impact on the Hong Kong epidemic.
