Taipei mayor casts doubt on the innovative term "soft city closure"

　　China News Service, April 27. According to Taiwan's "Zhongshi News Network" report, the local epidemic situation in Taiwan is still heating up. Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe predicted on the 26th that the next week will be the key, and if necessary, there may be a "soft closure of the city". ".

As soon as the new term came out, it caused doubts from all walks of life on the island.

　　Taipei City added 1,302 new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia on the 26th. Mayor Ke Wenzhe bluntly stated that if the home isolation is shortened to "3+4" days, without any action, it is estimated based on the number of newly diagnosed patients in Taipei City. The number of cases reached 10,000 on May 7. The next week is the key. If necessary, there may be a "soft closure".

　　In this regard, Taipei City Councilor Wang Minsheng said, "In the work of epidemic prevention, we cannot create new terms by ourselves," and use vernacular to communicate with the public.

Wang Minsheng said that Ke Wenzhe's use of such terms will cause misunderstandings among the public. It is better to call on the public to reduce their participation in large-scale events, large-scale dinners and banquets.

　　Regarding the "soft city closure" proposed by Ke Wenzhe, Kuomintang "legislator" Jiang Wanan said on the 27th that the "soft city closure" may now be just a rough strategic direction, but what the people want to know is the actual connotation?

Any new anti-epidemic policy or a new term should be proposed with a more specific practical connotation, so that the public can clearly understand how to implement it next and let the public follow it.

　　Some Taiwanese netizens also questioned the "soft closure of the city", "Then why not just upgrade?" "I think you are crazy."

　　In this regard, Wei Youren, deputy spokesman of the Taipei City Government, explained that in order to avoid the increase in the number of confirmed diagnoses and lead to the collapse of medical capacity, Ke Wenzhe's "soft city closure" refers to the replacement of other discipline by the people through self-discipline. Sims were found to also have a spontaneity to reduce unnecessary movement.
