[Sing Tao Daily report]Leung Cheuk-wai, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong, believes that Hong Kong should discuss the anti-epidemic route as soon as possible, and choose to continue to clear the situation dynamically, or to move towards endemic diseases. The Chief Executive, Carrie Lam, responded at the anti-epidemic press conference today (23rd) that the fight once morest the epidemic is not a battle between two lines. She stressed that the goal of the SAR government is the same as that of the country, to protect the lives of citizens, to contain the epidemic as soon as possible, and to restore society to normal. She also pointed out that the reality is more complicated than academic research, and the government cannot rely on scientific model speculation to implement policies, but the opinions of experts can be referred to.
Carrie Lam also mentioned that she hopes to achieve maximum anti-epidemic benefits at the least cost and reduce the impact of the epidemic, including fighting for customs clearance with the mainland and overseas. She pointed out that customs clearance with the mainland is the top priority, because the mainland has a huge market, and the two places have a strong connection. Some people work and study in the mainland, and some people live in the mainland, but there is no timetable at present.
In addition, regarding the government’s revocation of the flight ban in 9 countries, but still maintaining the circuit breaker mechanism for individual flights, Carrie Lam believes that there is no inconsistency between the two. The flight circuit breaker mechanism hopes that airlines can better implement the measures of the Hong Kong government to prevent foreign imports, but it can be Discuss how many infected passengers on the same flight need to be cut off.
