[Explanation] In view of the continuing severity of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government has sought assistance from the central government to fight the epidemic.

　　I am very grateful to the central government for supporting Hong Kong and sending two teams of experts to Hong Kong. One is to help us build a shelter hospital, and the other is to help us speed up, increase, and strengthen our testing capabilities. A shelter hospital has never been built in Hong Kong, and Hong Kong has never tried a large-scale test. You now have 500,000 high-risk groups, what should we do? These can learn from the experience of the Mainland and help Hong Kong. You see, the whole world is our China doing the best in fighting the epidemic.

　　[Explanation] At the request of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government and coordinated by the Central Government, among the Mainland Support Team organized by the National Health Commission, the 7 advance team members of the "Mainland Nucleic Acid Testing Support Team" arrived in Hong Kong in early August to assist in preparing for temporary experiments Room work. Another support team will assist the SAR government in the construction of a temporary community treatment facility similar to a "square cabin hospital" at the AsiaWorld-Expo. Hu Dingxu expressed concern about the "third wave of the epidemic" in Hong Kong. He believes that it is necessary to "check all inspections" and quickly cut off the chain of transmission.

　　What if our epidemic cannot be controlled today? What if there are 3,000 and 5,000 diagnoses in the next two weeks? Public hospitals can't stand it anymore. People who should be admitted to the hospital can't get in, and they will infect their family members if they stay at home. This is not good. People's health must be put first. Therefore, the central government sent people to support Hong Kong. I think I definitely applaud it 100%.

　　[Explanation] Hu Dingxu believes that the daily confirmed cases in Hong Kong have dropped slightly since August 3, indicating that the measures introduced by the SAR government and the cooperation of the citizens have begun to take effect. In 2003, when Hong Kong was responding to the SARS epidemic, Hu Dingxu was a senior in the Hospital Authority who led medical care to fight the epidemic. Now that the epidemic is coming again, Hu Dingxu lamented that there have been more political disputes in Hong Kong society, "very regrettable".

　　It is a pity that Hong Kong is now facing such a big dilemma as the epidemic. We should unite together, put aside our conflicts, and fight the epidemic first, but many people are making trouble. So far, what we are facing may be the most difficult situation in Hong Kong. We should unite together to fight the epidemic.
