(picture: Li Jiachao said that he hopes to integrate the new measures with the existing system as much as possible, and will also do a good job in the overall interpretation.) The covid-19 epidemic continues in Hong Kong, with 2769 confirmed cases added yesterday. In order to strengthen epidemic prevention and control, the government plans to introduce a real name system in "ease of travel" and introduce "red and yellow codes" to identify confirmed patients, but some legislators are worried that it has tracking function or become a political tool. The chief executive Li Jiachao stressed before the Executive Council yesterday that the "red and yellow codes" are only applicable to confirmed patients and hotel quarantine personnel, and other people will not be affected, nor will they be used for non anti epidemic purposes. Hong Kong's handling of the epidemic must comply with the law, and the government will certainly abide by the law. It will not happen in non epidemic areas, and it is unrealistic. Li Jiachao also said that the government would appoint an expert advisory group to listen to their views on data and science. Lu chongmao, the director of the medical and Health Bureau, announced the day before yesterday that from this Friday (15th), all people living in isolation must wear electronic bracelets, and the "safe travel" program of the diagnosed person will be displayed as a "red code" to ensure that they will not leave the place of isolation, nor enter specific places and places of high-risk groups, such as hospitals and institutions; The "yellow code" is mainly for entry quarantine personnel, and point-to-point management will be carried out. The government will launch the "safe travel" real name system as soon as possible to identify the confirmed person. Li Jiachao further explained the relevant arrangements yesterday. He said that the fifth wave of the epidemic overloaded the government's different systems, so the "red and yellow codes" were introduced to minimize the restrictions on epidemic prevention and anti epidemic with precise methods, so that most people can carry out activities without norms, and allow some point-to-point activities. Precise new measures to reduce restrictions He said that the scope of application of the "red code and yellow code" is narrow, and the "red code" is only for confirmed patients, identifying them, and no longer carrying out activities to infect others; "Yellow code" is only for people who are being isolated in hotels. The government is considering how to optimize the whole isolation period and launch "yellow code" to deal with such people. Li Jiachao said that the government is listening to the views and hopes to try to integrate the new measures with the existing system, and will also do a good job in the overall interpretation. He will work with the Chief Secretary for administration to carefully review the issues involved in all areas and minimize the impact on the affected population. Based on the data, the government will minimize the number of days that passengers need to be quarantined, so that economic activities, social activities and Hong Kong's international competitiveness can be maintained. As for some members who said they were worried that the "red code" would become a political tool or restrict the free access of some bank deposit users, Li Jiachao stressed that Hong Kong's handling of the epidemic must comply with the law. Hong Kong is a very law-abiding place, and the government will certainly abide by the law. Therefore, it will not happen and it is unrealistic to apply any measures to non epidemic areas. "If anyone tries to cause trouble in this regard, I can tell him that this is absolutely not true, and we don't need to believe it. If we use any measures that are not in line with the law, first, the government will not do it; second, there will be consequences." He also said that before taking office, he had two contacts with Lu chongmao and Xinguan expert consultants to listen to their views on data and science. The government will soon announce the reappointment of the expert advisory group. (Xinhua News Agency)
