Hong Kong will relax the nucleic acid testing requirements for immigrants from next Monday (November 21). Immigrations do not need to test nucleic acid testing on the fourth and six days, but still retain the next day's testing requirements.However, Hong Kong experts believe that the requirements for testing the next day will not help Hong Kong's prevention and control, and only need to conduct fast detection on the day of arriving in Hong Kong.
Comprehensive Sing Tao Daily and the Internet media "Hong Kong 01" reported that Hong Kong respiratory system specialist Liang Zizhong Super Friday (November 18) said on the radio program in the morning that the Omikdon XBB found on the communityThe cases of BQ1.1 variant strains are much higher than input cases. The show that variants have long been transmitted in the community. The role of entry personnel performed nucleic acid detection only to monitor whether the new variable strains have entered Hong Kong.
He said, from this perspective, the requirements of the Hong Kong government's reserved entry personnel on the next day's nucleic acid testing is actually of little significance. These personnel only need to be sieved on the day of arriving in Hong Kong.Let them enter the community.
Liang Zichao According to the data of the Health Protection Center of the Hong Kong Department of Health, it is believed that the crown disease epidemic in Hong Kong has a significant rise, which has increased by 29%.Decreased, XBB and BQ1.1 cases have double -level growth.
However, he believes that there is still no need to tighten Hong Kong's epidemic prevention and control measures, because the epidemic caused by BQ1.1 and XBB poison strains in Europe and the United States is not very serious, coupled with the Hong Kong vaccineThe vaccination rate is not low. As long as the Hong Kong medical system does not collapse, you don't have to worry too much.
He Bailiang, director of the Hong Kong University Infection and Infectious Disease Center, also believes that the current entry quarantine measures implemented by the Hong Kong government are not accurate enough, and changes to quarantine measures every week can only cause citizens to confuse.
