(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) Taiwanese people: The authorities' epidemic prevention is like a "test-prep candidate" who has not prepared before the exam
China News Service, Beijing, May 24 (Liu Dawei) In the past few days, the local epidemic of new crown pneumonia in Taiwan has been increasing.
Facing the worsening situation of the epidemic situation in Taiwan, Xiao Renhong, a tourist industry in Taipei, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Agency on the 24th that the Taiwan authorities have been calling themselves "model students" in epidemic prevention when the epidemic began last year. But the crisis is busy, like a "test-prep candidate" who is unprepared before the exam.
According to the authorities' "Pandemic Epidemic Command Center" announced on the 24th, there were 334 newly confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia, 6 deaths, and 256 corrected regression cases.
As of the 24th, a total of 3748 local cases have been confirmed in Taiwan, and 29 have died.
"Although the Taipei MRT and high-speed rail are still in operation, the business of travel agencies has basically been suspended." Xiao Renhong said that the local outbreak has had a particularly serious impact on Taiwan's tourism industry.
Currently, Taiwan implements a three-level epidemic prevention alert and requires people on the island to avoid gatherings as much as possible. The tourism industry, which originally relied on island tourism for support, has been hit hard.
The Banqiao District of New Taipei City is one of the most serious places in Taiwan this time. The parents of Gao Shuoheng, the rotating chairman of the Cross-Strait Volunteer Alliance, live nearby.
He told reporters that the authorities have some epidemic prevention measures that make people very confused.
For example, the outbreak has been so severe, but now New Taipei has not yet "closed the city."
For another example, Jinmen just announced on the 23rd that people should enter the Jinmen fast screening, and the authorities urgently "call for cards" on the 24th.
Therefore, I will remind my family members to take precautions when going out to work, such as wearing double-layer masks when going out and disinfecting them.
Mr. Chen's parents who work in the mainland live in Yilan, where the situation is slightly better compared to Taipei and New Taipei where the epidemic is severe.
But Mr. Chen told reporters that because Taiwan had not experienced such a severe epidemic before, the people on the island were panicking.
Even if they advise their parents not to panic so much, they will still be very worried.
As for the stock of epidemic prevention and civilian resources, Xiao Renhong said that the current stock of supplies in Taipei is still sufficient, just because there have been a few cases of cluster infections due to the rush to buy goods. After learning the news, many people are worried that they are not too infected. Dare to go shopping in the store.
"In fact, the people in Taiwan are looking forward to the arrival of the vaccine from the mainland." Xiao Renhong said that after the outbreak, the relevant authorities continued to obstruct the vaccine from entering Taiwan with "politics as a priority", which caused the current situation and worries the people. During the interview, he also told reporters: "Can I still fly to the mainland for vaccinations?" (End)
