Ming Pao Society Review

Hong Kong's restarted pace has accelerated significantly in the past month, and epidemic prevention measures have been relaxed. Recently, the number of new severe illnesses and death numbers have also been significantly much.The antibodies generated by vaccination will decline over time. Officials need to strengthen publicity and remind the elderly and those in need to make up the needle in a timely manner to consolidate Hong Kong's anti -severe barriers.Hong Kong's comprehensive re -reopening, crown disease will become local territory, and all restrictions on immigration people will be the general trend. The official can be based on the load of the public hospital after the resumption of customs clearance in Hong Kong.As for the vaccination requirements of immigrants overseas and mainland China, they should be prepared as soon as possible.

Nearly weekly increase in severe death

Clearance impact is yet to be observed

The Hong Kong epidemic entered the winter and heated up. The number of infections in a single day rose to 25,000 levels. Although the relevant figures have fallen to more than 10,000 ancestors in the near future, the number of new severe illnesses and the number of deaths are still hovering at a high level. On average, about half a day per dayThe death of the infected persons is more than 10,000 compared with the number of infected people earlier last month, and the average daily death per day is significantly higher.Data show that the proportion of newly reported positive cases of newly reported positive cases was 0.4%in the past week, an increase from 0.25%from 4 weeks ago; the mortality rate of the same period also increased.The Hospital Authority recently announced that nearly 5,000 patients with crown diseases stayed in the public hospital in the public hospital, of which 92 people had to use ventilator to help breathe. The 219 people were in critical condition. 56 people were receiving deep treatment. All numbers were the fifth wave of epidemic in early last year.The highest peak period was the highest.

Since the beginning of last month, the social distance measures of Hong Kong have been withdrawn one after another, with only the remaining masks, and the number of infected people will inevitably rise; as the vaccine pass and red and yellow code restrictions are canceled, some citizens who have not yet completed the vaccination can re -enter the restaurants. The society can be re -entered.The event increased. Once they were infected, the risk of intensive hospitalization must be higher, but there were also signs that the number of local severe deaths in the recent week has increased significantly, and it is also related to the decline in the level of antibodies of some citizens.Government expert consultant Xu Shichang said that the Hospital Authority analyzed the recent hospitalization and death cases and found that many of the severe and death cases were hit for the third needle. Many of them were vaccinated early last year, more than half a year.

Local experts have confirmed the research on the fifth wave of epidemic. Whether it is Fu Bitai or the Kochi vaccine, as long as the number of needles is sufficient, it can be effective.In the past, the protection of the vaccine cannot be gradually weakened.Theoretically, those who infected the recovery are equivalent to one more needle, but for the elder and weak people, the needle is too long for a long time, and the antibody level is too low.It is an unknown number, and it is undoubtedly a more secure approach.

Hong Kong introduced Fubai Two -valent vaccine at the end of last year. In the early stage, a high -risk group was provided for the fourth shot, which was then expanded to the third pins at the age of 18;If you want to strengthen protection, you can also choose to recover the original version of Bitai, two -price, or Kexing vaccine as the fifth needle.Government information shows that in the early stage of the second price vaccine, only thousands of people were vaccinated in a single day. Until the Christmas holiday, the government announced that Hong Kong and the mainland were cleared, and the number of injections increased significantly.

The first stage of the first stage of Hong Kong and the mainland, today is the third day. Looking at the appointment of the number of customs in the two places, Hong Kong people go north to the north to be more south than the mainlanders. In the next weekJust for thousands of people.When the mainland approves travel to Hong Kong, it is necessary to re -approve the re -enrollment of travel groups in Hong Kong, and those who pass the customs must have a 48 -hour nucleic acid negative certificate, which makes some mainland people hold a wait -and -see attitude towards Hong Kong tourism.The reason for the low number of people south.The Hospital Authority stated that the overall operation of the emergency rooms of the public hospitals after the customs clearance is roughly similar to usual.Of course, with the coming of the Spring Festival holiday, the mainlanders make appointments to come to Hong Kong, and it may still increase significantly at the end of this month. The impact of customs clearance on the Hong Kong epidemic will still be watched in the next few weeks.

Comprehensively reopening the general trend

High -risk groups make up in time

Data from the Hospital Administration show that the use rate of internal medicine beds in the public hospital earlier this month reached 117%, and the use rate of pediatric beds was 61%.As the Hospital Authority has gradually relaxed the hospitalization restrictions of patients with crown diseases earlier, it will help the sick beds. Some people in the medical care industry described that the situation of the internal medicine ward is similar to the peak of the past, but there is pressure but not the fall.The mainland epidemic has not been treated. Some people worry that after the scale of customs clearance is expanding, the case of severe deaths has increased rapidly. Liu Yulong, a government expert consultant, believes that the mainland's visitors to Hong Kong are young and strong.If the medical system is burdened, if there is no significant deterioration in the next two weeks, the official can cancel the 48 -hour nucleic acid negative certificate before the new year of the lunar calendar.

Hong Kong's often re -entered the current step, and the full re -opening is the general trend.Hong Kong has no nucleic acid testing requirements for overseas immigrants. If there is sufficient data to prove that the customs clearance has not constitutes too heavy pressure on the Hong Kong medical system, and the requirements for nucleic acid negative proofs can be lifted.At present, Hong Kong has vaccination requirements for overseas entryrs, while the mainland entryrs have no relevant regulations. In fact, they should be prepared as soon as possible.If the official believes that no need to request entry of mainland China, overseas immigrants can actually be exempted.In the post -epidemic era, it is only a matter of time to withdraw all entry restrictions. Instead of considering slowing down and re -opening, it is better to try to consolidate Hong Kong's anti -severe barrier.

Macau has announced recently that those with poor symptoms can return to work as usual. It is believed that Hong Kong will also allow mild or disease -free signs to be isolated and wearing masks to work.Crown disease wind and soil disease means that citizens need to be responsible for personal health and prevent severe death. The most effective way is to get injections.With the withdrawal of the vaccine pass, the government has no needle needle tools. Either an injection is completely personal choice.The importance of supplementing the needle.Given that the current coronary vaccine is not very effective, the official can arrange the outsourcing team to go to the hospital and other places every few months to half a year to get an injection for the elderly and those in need to ensure that they are sufficiently protected.
