China News Agency, Hong Kong, February 13 (Reporter Zeng Ping) The second mainland-Hong Kong New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic Symposium was held in Shenzhen on the afternoon of the 12th. The SAR government proposed to send mainland experts to assist Hong Kong in pathological investigation and analysis, and improve Hong Kong's testing. The request for assistance in five aspects, including ability, was accepted by the central government in principle.

Some Hong Kong politicians said in an interview with a reporter from China News Agency on the 13th that the central government's support was like a shot in the arm for Hong Kong and enhanced the SAR's confidence in fighting the epidemic.

　　The chairman of the Hong Kong Economic and People's Federation and member of the Legislative Council, Lu Weiguo, told reporters that in the past two years, Hong Kong could barely cope with the epidemic in terms of virus detection, isolation and quarantine facilities, and facilities for diagnosing and treating patients. The contagious new crown virus, Hong Kong's ability in the above three aspects is not enough to deal with this wave of epidemic.

The second thematic exchange meeting between the two places pragmatically set up different classes to deal with Hong Kong's shortcomings. It is hoped that the SAR government will announce the details to the public as soon as they have specific implementation details, so as to further enhance the community's confidence in fighting the epidemic.

　　After the Chief Secretary for Administration of the SAR Government, Li Jiachao, returned to Hong Kong on the evening of the 12th to explain the progress of the special exchange meeting, Lu Weiguo observed that various social platforms, different groups, and business professionals he was familiar with gave positive reactions.

"It is important that all the citizens of Hong Kong should unite to fight the epidemic." Lu Weiguo believes that the SAR government should add a dispatch mechanism in time for the arrangement of compulsory testing, and it should also speed up the vaccination of the elderly and children. arrangements and wider coverage.

　　Seeing the spread of the epidemic, Zhang Xinyu, a member of the New Directions Legislative Council of Hong Kong, said that whenever Hong Kong encounters difficulties, the country will always lend a helping hand.

Now that the central government supports Hong Kong in fighting the epidemic, I believe it is like a shot in the arm for many Hong Kong citizens.

　　Regarding the SAR government's request to send mainland experts to assist Hong Kong in pathological investigation and analysis, Zhang Xinyu believes that the two places have established an organizational framework and coordination mechanism for responding to the epidemic, and will communicate and cooperate in terms of technical, expert and resource security.

Several aspects of the central government's support for Hong Kong are aimed at cooperating with difficulties such as testing capacity and patient admission. The biggest pain point in Hong Kong at present is that the number of confirmed cases is increasing exponentially, and the rate of increase of hospital beds is far behind the transmission rate of the virus.

Hong Kong should show determination and courage to learn from the experience of controlling the epidemic in the mainland or elsewhere.

　　Wang Huizhen, president of the Hong Kong Kowloon Federation of Associations, said that Hong Kong is finally looking forward to the good news of the central government's rescue of Hong Kong.

Anti-epidemic is a scientific issue, but also a question of ability and attitude.

The fight against the epidemic depends on the support of the central government, but also on Hong Kong's own efforts.
