Hong Kong Chief Executive Lin Zheng Yue'e personally led the interdepartmental steering committee The command center was established at the same time, and the anti-epidemic horn officially sounded.
In fact, prior to this, the SAR government has made some epidemic prevention moves, such as incorporating new viruses into the Regulations for the Prevention and Control of Diseases, launching the first quarantine center, suspending flights to and from Wuhan, Hubei, and high-speed rail. However, from the public's point of view, from the 25th, the record book of the SAR government's event record began to be filled with anti-epidemic.
On January 25, the "Contingency Plan" was upgraded to "Urgent"; the Chief Executive appointed four experts as an expert advisory group, announcing the postponement of school resumption dates for all schools in Hong Kong until February 17th.

In the past ten days, while the SAR government frequently showed measures to show its determination to fight the epidemic, it also faced the negative voices of a small number of people. The "seal customs" and "medical strikes" were inevitable. Contingency, strict response and open and transparent intentions, continue to fight the epidemic "combination boxing."
After the implementation of the compulsory quarantine arrangement, the anti-epidemic work in Hong Kong, which was regarded as a "brilliant battle", met new challenges.
On February 5, the cruise ship World Dream, which had confirmed patients with new coronary pneumonia, arrived at the Kai Tak cruise terminal in the morning of the same day.

For all of the above, Lin Zhengyue repeatedly openly expressed her heartfelt thanks to all the medical staff involved in the fight against the epidemic, the government staff's adherence to their posts, and the selfless dedication of volunteers. It is said that fighting the epidemic is a protracted battle. .
At present, Hong Kong's anti-epidemic work, while taking into account local needs, has also begun to expand globally with the development of the epidemic. On the "full moon" of the epidemic, the Hong Kong SAR government announced restrictions on entry from South Korea or non-Hong Kong residents who have been to South Korea in the past 14 days.
One month, 30 days, 720 hours, 43200 minutes ... In the hearts of Hong Kong people, it is a long winter, and the SAR government is doing its best to resist the "cold winter". It is foreseeable that in Hong Kong, after the storm of revisions and new coronary pneumonia, Hong Kong will be reborn. (Finish)
