(Hong Kong Comprehensive News) The crown disease epidemic in Hong Kong has recently heated up, and the number of patients in the emergency room has surged.Local public health officials said that about 10,000 people were diagnosed with crown disease every day, but Hong Kong's immune barrier had exceeded 95%. At present, there is no need to re -implement social distance measures and mask orders.

Comprehensive Network Media "Hong Kong 01" and Hong Kong Radio website reported last Saturday (April 29) that the Hong Kong Hospital Administration said that in the past few days, the number of emergency rooms seeking consultation has continued to rise.The number of diagnoses exceeded 6,000 for a few consecutive days, and 6,255 last Friday (April 28), of which more than 1,100 people were in the internal medicine ward in an emergency room.

The Hospital Administration also said that more than five hours last Saturday's emergency room for the hospital for more than five hours, of which Guanghua Hospital was the longest and the queue time was more than eight hours.

According to Sing Tao Daily, Lu Chongmao, the director of medical and health, revealed when attending a TV show last Saturday that the current crowning supervision data has increased by 30 to 50 % in the past week, of which the positive rate of testing has increased by four times.He estimates that there are about 10,000 people in Hong Kong at the present, and the numbers have exceeded the small volatility of Vietnam at the end of August last year.

However, Lu Chongmao believes that Hong Kong's immune barrier has exceeded 95%, and the response capabilities of hospitals and communities have also improved.Even if the peak of crown disease infection in spring and summer is coming, Hong Kong has the ability to cope with it. At present, there is no need to restart non -medical social distance measures such as masks. After all, the mask will have a negative impact on social and economic activities.

Earlier, Hong Kong has completely lifted the mask order from March 1 this year, including indoor outdoor and transportation.

For the new mutant virus "ARCTURUS", Lu Chongmao said that Hong Kong's infection is increasing, but it is not high for the time being.

Kong Fushang, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of the University of Hong Kong, also believes that the "big horn star" has little threat to Hong Kong. The mainstream virus in Hong Kong is still BA.5 and BA.2, and only a few "big horns" virus cases.He pointed out that the "big horns" is the branch of BA.2. Most of the fifth wave of epidemic last year was BA.2 cases, and citizens have formed a high immune barrier.

Kong Fanyi judged that the current influenza and crown disease infections have not reached the highest peak. It is expected that the influenza will see the top one to two weeks, and the crown disease will not reach the peak after seven to eight weeks, and then the case will fall.
