China News Agency, Hong Kong, March 3 (Reporter Han Xingtong) Liang Wannian, the expert group leader of the National Health Commission's New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic Response and Disposal Leading Group, who is visiting Hong Kong, said when meeting the media on the 3rd that he was understanding the situation of the epidemic in Hong Kong. Analyze and judge the situation of the epidemic, and reach the greatest consensus with Hong Kong experts.

The focus of work in the past few days is to understand the situation, including the situation of the epidemic in Hong Kong, the epidemic prevention measures and implementation, the layout of medical assistance, resources and the response of the medical system. Wait.
After learning about the situation, the expert group will work with Hong Kong experts to analyze the epidemic trend and form the greatest consensus, which will provide an effective scientific basis for the SAR government to formulate anti-epidemic policies. At the same time, the expert group will also provide mainland experience for the SAR government to learn from.
Liang Wannian believes that the top priority of Hong Kong's anti-epidemic task at this stage should be to strive to reduce infection, reduce morbidity, reduce severe illness, and reduce death.
Focus should be placed on the allocation of limited resources and energy, and a series of key tasks should be defined by dividing key groups, key regions, and key institutions.
Liang Wannian pointed out that places where people are relatively concentrated and closed, such as nursing homes, service institutions for the disabled, children's welfare homes, and mental hospitals, should be the key management targets. Strict measures are taken to prevent nosocomial infections.
In addition, the institutions and places that ensure the normal operation of the city should also be well managed, such as disciplined forces and relevant institutions for water, power, and gas supply.
Leung Wannian described Hong Kong's fight against the fifth wave of the epidemic as a people's war with extensive mobilization of the whole society. From the SAR government to relevant departments, especially the general public, they have actively participated in the fight against the epidemic.
He said that although the epidemic situation in Hong Kong is rapidly changing and rising, with the deepening of the understanding of the virus, Hong Kong has better medical resources and better urban governance and management capabilities, especially with the firm support of the central government and the SAR. With the strong leadership of the government and the solidarity of all sectors of society, Hong Kong will surely be able to overcome the epidemic.
