Paracetamol|Public hospital follow-up consultation is not limited Social Association: Take hundreds of pills at a time, enough to give away

[13:58] The epidemic situation in the mainland and Hong Kong continues, and the market is out of stock of painkillers and fever reducers. There are even more people in Hong Kong snapping up pain relievers and fever reducers such as Bisperidone for resale in China.

The government issued guidelines yesterday, recommending that pharmacies sell no more than 60 paracetamol tablets or 300ml liquid medicine per person, but there is no restriction on doctor's prescription.

Since doctors' prescriptions are not limited, many citizens who only have follow-up visits in public hospitals in a few months can actually receive a large amount of paracetamol medicines, and even get hundreds of pills at a time.

Peng Hongchang, director of the Association of Community Organizations, pointed out that due to the long follow-up time in the public hospital, many patients have received hundreds of long-acting painkillers at one time. Think the situation is not ideal.



Cui Junming, president of the Hong Kong Society of Hospital Pharmacists, suggested that the prescription of "paracetamol" for patients who take it when necessary can be reduced, for example, the amount can be reduced by half to avoid waste.

[13:28] The Chief Secretary for Administration, Chan Kwok-kee, has announced that the customs clearance quota for the first few days before the Chinese New Year will be raised moderately, because since the first phase of customs clearance between Hong Kong and the mainland was implemented on January 8, the overall operation of the ports has been good, and the customs clearance process for citizens has been smooth Shun.

From the online reservation system of the SAR government, it can be seen that January 18 to 21, that is, the most popular period from the 27th to the 30th of the year, is almost or even fully booked.

In this regard, after full communication and coordination with the Guangdong and Shenzhen governments, and under the principle of gradually and orderly promoting customs clearance between the two places, both agreed that there is room for a moderate increase in the daily number of people passing through the designated land ports in the above few days to respond to customs clearance needs.

The government will announce the details of the finalized arrangements for the number of customs clearance before the Chinese New Year through a press release at 3:00 this afternoon.

Advocate pharmacies to limit the sale of 60 capsules of paracetamol Chamber of Commerce: A notice has been issued calling for each person to sell no more than 3 boxes

【12:36】There has been a rush to buy paracetamol recently in Hong Kong. The government announced yesterday (13th) that pharmacies should supply reasonable quantities of drugs according to customers’ medical needs, and issued guidelines suggesting that each person should limit the sale of no more than 60 paracetamol tablets or 300ml syrup.

Zhang Derong, vice chairman of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Pharmacy General Chamber of Commerce, said that a circular was issued to members on Thursday (12th), calling on pharmacy members to sell an appropriate amount of medicines to customers, and recommending that each customer buy no more than 3 boxes of painkillers. He believes that the relevant dosage is reasonable, as the fever and headaches caused by the new coronary pneumonia usually last for several days, so the dosage of 60 capsules is reasonable, and the industry generally accepts the relevant guidelines.

Cui Junming, president of the Hong Kong Society of Hospital Pharmacists, said that it is very difficult to rely on self-discipline of pharmacies to sell. "If there is a lot of business, I will sell."

Lin Shixiong: Depends on the resumption of high-speed rail or additional sales of tickets at land-based checkpoints before the Chinese New Year.

[11:28] Hong Kong and the mainland have been "clearing customs" for a week, and the high-speed rail will reopen tomorrow (15th). The Secretary for Transport and Logistics, Lam Sai-hung, said in a radio program today that the overall arrangement after the first phase of customs clearance is smooth, and the East Rail and cross-border bus services are not available. The problem is that the number of people passing through the border is within the expectations of the authorities. The authorities will closely monitor the reservation of quotas for customs clearance and check whether there is a need to increase the number of quotas.



In terms of high-speed rail, Lin Shixiong pointed out that currently only some tickets are sold publicly, and the remaining tickets will be released depending on the supporting facilities of the port. The authorities will pay attention to the situation after the resumption of transportation to ensure the smooth operation of West Kowloon and the port, and then review with the mainland to resume at an appropriate time long distance route.

Kong Fanyi: The epidemic is basically over

[09:53] The epidemic situation in Hong Kong has further dropped, and the number of cases in a single day has dropped to 8,000.

Kong Fanyi, a government expert consultant, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases and clinical professor of the Department of Internal Medicine of the University of Hong Kong, said today (14th) that the mixed immune barrier in Hong Kong is high, and it is estimated that the number of confirmed cases may further decline in the next few days: "The epidemic may basically have passed, and we can Things will return to normal soon."
