Hong Kong: HK determined to beat COVID-19
Chief Executive Carrie Lam
The new wave of epidemic that began in late November appears to have reached its peak in mid-December. The measures strictly implemented by the Government to prevent the importation of cases and the spread of the virus in the community have gradually yielded results. Despite fluctuations, the number of daily confirmed cases has already shown a downward trend. That said, compared with the previous wave, the current wave of epidemic is subsiding at a notably slower rate. Whether there is an epidemiological reason for this remains to be determined by experts, but according to our observations, public awareness in complying with social distancing measures is obviously lower than before. Anti-epidemic fatigue is probably one of the reasons why the virus remains with us. I strongly urge citizens to stay at home to fight the epidemic, which in itself is an act to support the frontline anti-epidemic personnel.
