(picture: the epidemic is heating up, and the government has re promoted the wearing of electronic bracelets by people living in isolation.) The epidemic continued to heat up, with 2863 new confirmed cases and seven more deaths recorded in Hong Kong yesterday. Lu chongmao, director of the medical and Health Bureau, announced that from this Friday (15th), all people who are isolated at home must wear electronic bracelets to ensure that relevant people will not leave their homes, and will launch the "safe travel" real name system and the "red, yellow and green" health code as soon as possible. He stressed that we will never lie flat in dealing with the epidemic, and will identify the diagnosed and high-risk people through precise epidemic prevention, and make the isolation arrangement more humanized. In the past, the delivery of electronic bracelets was too slow, and some elderly people did not know how to use them. Some members of Parliament and regional organizations paid attention to the supporting arrangements. In addition, nucleic acid testing is still unable to know the results within a day. People are worried that if it is not improved, the epidemic prevention effect will be greatly weakened. Lu chongmao, who took office less than two weeks ago, attended the epidemic news conference for the second time yesterday. He predicted that the epidemic might increase exponentially in the next two weeks, but stressed that the government did not consider closing the city at present, but through precise epidemic prevention, and did not want to increase the cost of society and citizens. At present, about 12000 people choose home isolation At present, nearly 60% of the confirmed cases, that is, about 12000 people choose home isolation. Lu chongmao announced that since this Friday, people diagnosed with home isolation should also wear electronic bracelets to ensure that they will not leave the isolation site, and will send the electronic bracelets to the quarantines when issuing the isolation order. He further explained the real name system of "ease of travel" and the details of "red, yellow and green" health code. For those who wear electronic bracelets, the "ease of travel" program will be displayed as "red code"; The "yellow code" is mainly the quarantine personnel after entry. The relevant details are still under discussion, and the launch date has not been determined. Of course, "the sooner the better". Under the new arrangement, the seven day hotel quarantine period for immigrants may be shortened and changed to local home monitoring. Lu stressed that the main function of the "safe travel" real name system is to identify the confirmed person, not for tracking. The use of the "red and yellow code" is to ensure that the relevant person complies with the rules. He does not think that this government has changed the policy, and describes changes as eternal. "Why should we change? Because we should deal with changes. The epidemic situation is constantly changing, and policies should also be changed according to different circumstances." In the past, the government once required the confirmed patients to wear electronic bracelets, but from time to time, some citizens found that some confirmed patients did not abide by the rules to go out, and the relevant policies were also cancelled due to the large number of confirmed cases at the peak of the epidemic in the past. Lu chongmao said that he believed that Hong Kong citizens were of high quality, but it was always impossible to ensure that everyone fully complied with it. Therefore, in addition to the electronic bracelet measures, he introduced a health code to establish an additional line of defense, and stressed that the government would not turn citizens' programs into "red codes" for no reason. Councilor: the delivery company can be hired to send bracelets Chen Kaixin, vice chairman of the Legislative Council Panel on health affairs, believes that the electronic bracelet measures have practical effects. Because the current home isolation is not monitored, the measures have a certain deterrent effect, but she is also concerned about the actual implementation speed of the measures. "In the past, after patients have been notified, no one has sent the electronic bracelet for a long time. The government may consider cooperating with some delivery companies to send the electronic bracelet to the door of the diagnosed person as soon as possible." Chen Kaixin also pointed out that at present, it usually takes 24 hours to obtain nucleic acid test results. Contractors have space to speed up the test time. If they can achieve the results in half a day, they will be able to prevent and control more accurately; As for the Hong Kong version of health code, it can restrict the diagnosed person from going to places of high-risk people, reduce the transmission of novel coronavirus, and also serve as a double guarantee other than electronic bracelets. Shi Lishan, deputy director of the Hong Kong Association of community organizations, is concerned that some elderly people do not have smartphones and will not be able to use health codes in the future. Once diagnosed, they do not know how to use electronic bracelets. It is suggested that the government strengthen publicity, teach citizens how to use electronic bracelets, and provide alternative solutions for elderly people who do not have smartphones. Advocate borrowing the real name system of telephone card to confirm the "reassuring" identity (Figure: the government will launch the real name system of "ease of travel" and the "red, yellow and green" health code as soon as possible.) The government announced that the real name system would be implemented for "ease of travel". Some members of the Legislative Council suggested that the "telephone card real name registration system" could be used to confirm the true identity of "ease of travel" users, emphasizing that the real name system combined with risk-based transcoding can achieve accurate and effective anti epidemic. "Reassurance" vaccine certificate still has loopholes Legislative Council member Jane Huimin wrote to the Secretary for medical and health, Lu chongmao, yesterday to support the proposal of the real name system of "ease of travel" and the health code of "red, yellow and green". She believes that at present, there are still many loopholes in the "safe travel" even if it is equipped with a vaccine pass, including those who are confirmed and close contacts. Even if a quarantine order or isolation order is issued, they can still use the "safe travel" to enter the premises, which is not known by the government or the person in charge of the premises; The tracking speed of "safe travel" is slow, and people at risk of infection have not been notified as soon as possible to detect as soon as possible. Even if everyone in the same place is diagnosed, it may take twoorthree days to receive the notification of infection risk; In addition, "ease of travel" is not a real name system. Downloading the program does not require real name registration. Citizens can use other people's "electronic pin card" QR code. Jane Huimin reiterated that the Privacy Commissioner had repeatedly stressed that the importance of protecting public health was above the privacy protection of personal data. As long as it was clear that the purpose of collecting and using data was epidemic prevention, there was no obstacle in the current law. She believes that after the implementation of the "telephone card real name registration system", it can technically help "ease of travel" to connect with their true identity. She suggests that the government consider amending the disease prevention and control (vaccine pass) regulation, chapter 599l, to require citizens to connect "ease of travel" with telephone cards registered in their real names before the specified date. If you know | the bracelet cooperates with the mobile phone to effectively monitor the whereabouts (Figure: accelerating nucleic acid detection is helpful to identify the diagnosed person as soon as possible.) In order to cooperate with quarantine and quarantine measures, the government has launched a number of electronic bracelets. At present, the latest electronic Bracelet uses low-power Bluetooth (ble) positioning technology. Users can pair their smart phones with the "juan anti epidemic" program. If quarantine personnel leave their homes with their mobile phones, they will be known. Only wear Bluetooth Bracelet out of the street, because the mobile phone placed at home cannot receive the bracelet signal, it will notify the Department of health; It is also impossible to cut the bracelet, because once it is cut, the program will send a notice to the relevant notification system. Lu chongmao, director of the medical and Health Bureau, pointed out that in view of the continuous rise of the epidemic, from this Friday (15th), people living in isolation must wear electronic bracelets to ensure that they will not leave their homes. The Bureau of innovation and technology replied that the bracelet to be used this time is not different from the electronic Bracelet currently used in terms of function. In the past, several electronic bracelets were mainly different in style and basically the same in use. (Xinhua News Agency)
