(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) Zhang Jianzong: Strive to "clear" as soon as possible to let Hong Kong start again
China News Service, Hong Kong, January 3 - The Chief Secretary of Administration of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government Zhang Jianzong said on the 3rd that epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic is the top priority of the whole society and the top priority of the Special Administrative Region government.
The goal of the SAR government and the citizens of Hong Kong is the same, which is to fight the epidemic with all its strength and strive to "clear zero" as soon as possible so that Hong Kong can get out of the predicament and set off again.
Zhang Jianzong published a blog on the same day that although the number of confirmed cases in Hong Kong seems to be falling, the speed is slow. After the Christmas and New Year holidays, the number of confirmed cases may rebound, which is worrying.
He pointed out that in order to cut off the chain of community transmission as soon as possible, the SAR government decided last week to expand the scope of "required inspections." If two or more units in the same building have unrelated confirmed cases in the past two weeks, they will issue mandatory Detection announcement.
This large-scale and aggressive compulsory testing measure highlights the determination of the SAR government to accurately fight the epidemic and respond quickly. It is a big step forward for the SAR government in the fight against the epidemic, and it is also a decisive and "zero-clearing" measure. New deployment of "fast", "quasi" and "ruthless".
He also mentioned that the SAR government will strive to provide vaccines to Hong Kong as soon as possible, and ensure that the vaccines meet relevant requirements and procedures, and that they are approved for emergency use in accordance with relevant anti-epidemic regulations to ensure that the vaccines meet the requirements of safety, efficacy and quality.
The SAR government will also do a good job of communication, explanations and detailed arrangements to enable the smooth and orderly implementation of the vaccination plan.
Zhang Jianzong said that Hong Kong will experience hardships in 2020. In addition to fighting the epidemic in the first half of the year, it will also "fight against violence". It will not be until the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law in the middle of the year that social security and citizens' lives will return to stability.
The epidemic has strengthened the cohesion of the whole society and the strength to face adversity.
As long as the general public cooperates with the epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic measures and actively cooperates with the new crown vaccine, the day to overcome the epidemic will not be far away.
