Kong Fanyi, an expert consultant of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, said that Hong Kong's crown disease epidemic has come to an end. It is expected that in the middle of this year, the number of infections may occur slightly.Response of the epidemic.
It is also Kong Fushang, the director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Department of Science of the University of Hong Kong on Monday (March 27) in an exclusive interview with Hong Kong.It is about half a year after the fifth wave of epidemic fading. The level of antibodies in some patients may have fallen to a low level. At that time, a minor epidemic will rebound, but I believe that most of the cases of cases are mild and may not be easily identified.
Kong Fanyi believes that you don't have to worry too much. Because the current popular virus strains are Omikon BA.2 or BA.5 Asian variant virus strains, many people in Hong Kong have been infected.The immune barrier is very high, the activity of virus in summer is relatively high, and the chance of increasing complications is also low.
Kong Fanyi recalled that at the peak period of the fifth wave of epidemic last year, some public hospitals were full of hospital beds. A large number of patients were waiting for admission to the hospital.He pointed out that the situation was severe at that time. Many elders were admitted to the hospital in a short period of time, and the average of about 200 patients had to be treated in a day.
He believes that Hong Kong should strengthen its ability to strain. When the epidemic occurs, some internal medicines can be transformed into a simple negative air pressure ward in real time.In the diseased center, each center can provide 300 to 500 pressure beds, and equipped with better laboratory facilities, at the same time greatly increasing the medical bed and medical staff of the medicine, and strengthening training.
