Respiratory specialist Leung Tsz-chao said that there will still be more than 200 cases of new crown infections in Hong Kong in the short term. The recent reopening of listed premises will increase human-to-human contact and the spread will increase. However, due to the fifth wave of the epidemic earlier, many citizens It has been infected, and the remaining vulnerable population is relatively reduced. Even if there is a rebound, there are still limitations, but it is still necessary to be careful that the branch BA 2.12.1 of the mutated virus Omicron begins to infiltrate the community, which will cause a more serious outbreak. Liang Zichao said on this program that there were outbreaks in two bars, and the number of guests that night was extremely high. We should pay attention to whether the number of guests exceeds the load of the bar’s ventilation system. Once there is vigorous exercise such as dancing, the virus emission can be 100 times higher than when it is still relatively static. If there is a source of infection, the amount of air other people breathe increases several times, increasing the risk of transmission. He also said that there are 600,000 people who have not received the third injection. The third injection has an impact on the mortality rate, but it is not mainly used to control the spread of the virus. The most important thing is to reduce the severity of illness. He called on high-risk people to get the third injection as soon as possible.
