Watching the tide in Victoria Harbour丨Hong Kong joins forces to fight the epidemic and fully implement "dynamic clearing"
Recently, Hong Kong is being attacked by the new coronavirus Omicron and Delta strains, and the epidemic situation is extremely serious.
The number of newly confirmed cases in Hong Kong remains high, with more than 100 cases for several consecutive days. The Hong Kong SAR government has decisively adopted a number of strict epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic measures of "preventing import from outside and preventing from spreading inside", including increasing the manpower for case tracking and enhancing community testing. to promote self-testing of citizens, deploy home isolation arrangements, and "containment" to cut off the chain of transmission to control the epidemic, etc.
At the same time, the SAR government has also deployed all its efforts to increase the vaccination rate and build a protective barrier for the community.
As of February 6, the first vaccination rate in Hong Kong has exceeded 80%, and more than 5.39 million people have been vaccinated.
At this critical moment, adhering to the implementation of "dynamic clearing" is the most effective way to prevent and fight the epidemic and protect the health and safety of citizens.
However, there are still some people who misunderstand that "dynamic clearing" equals "zero tolerance", and even irresponsibly suggest that Hong Kong should abandon "dynamic clearing" and implement the so-called "lying flat" strategy of "coexisting with the virus".
In fact, the so-called "coexistence with the virus" negative mentality has neither scientific basis nor practical harm. If wrong arguments are allowed to prevail and confuse the public, it will shake the confidence of the whole society in Hong Kong's fight against the epidemic and affect the effectiveness of the fight against the epidemic.
Liang Wannian, head of the expert group of the National Health Commission's New Crown Epidemic Response and Disposal Work Leading Group, recently gave Hong Kong's anti-epidemic support, from why we insisted on "dynamic clearing" to how to achieve the goal, and made clear answers, which will help to eliminate the "and" The misconception of coexistence of viruses" has strengthened Hong Kong society's confidence in fighting the epidemic.
Liang Wannian pointed out that "dynamic clearing" is not the pursuit of zero infection, but "rapid detection, rapid disposal, precise control, and effective treatment", so as to achieve a balance between anti-epidemic, daily life and economic development.
For Hong Kong, the general direction of "clearing" remains unchanged. What we need to do is to constantly summarize our experience in fighting the epidemic and constantly optimize our anti-epidemic measures.
Liang Wannian believes that Hong Kong's anti-epidemic must achieve "five precisions", namely, accurate epidemiological investigation, accurate delineation of close contacts, accurate delineation of risk areas, accurate medical treatment, and accurate community prevention and control.
The top priority is to expand nucleic acid testing to find the source of infection earlier and faster.
"Dynamic clearing" is by no means the so-called "whatever it takes", but the maximum result in exchange for the minimum cost.
The mainland's economic development has been "thriving" for two consecutive years, and the strong recovery of Hong Kong's economy last year is the best explanation.
Hong Kong must now be in a race against time. All walks of life are united in fighting the epidemic, and we cannot take chances.
In difficult times, confidence is the root of all strength, and Hong Kong must build up the confidence to fight the epidemic.
The Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, said that the central government has always been the strongest backing of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
Recently, Guangdong Province has provided assistance at the request of the SAR government in increasing manpower to enhance Hong Kong's local testing capacity.
The SAR government will go all out, work hand in hand with all walks of life, and with the support of the central government and the cooperation of the public, to overcome this menacing epidemic.
At the same time, in order to jointly respond to the fifth wave of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong, many Hong Kong citizens actively participated in the fight against the epidemic as volunteers on the basis of taking protective measures.
For example, assist in the packaging of rapid test kits, and walk hand in hand with the SAR government with practical actions.
Hong Kong, which has experienced ups and downs, has never been afraid of any difficulties.
It is believed that with the full support of the central government and the more resolute measures of the SAR government, the lives and safety of Hong Kong citizens will be fully guaranteed; all Hong Kong citizens should actively face the epidemic, abide by and cooperate with the SAR government's epidemic prevention policy, and believe that the fifth wave of the epidemic will surely be If it is effectively contained and extinguished, Hong Kong will surely usher in the rain.
