記者七問「康復範圍Ct值」 徐樂堅始認冇界線、視乎個案
Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po, who tested positive overseas, was able to board a flight back to Hong Kong and was classified by the authorities as a non-infectious “recovered case” even though his arrival PCR test was positive. At an afternoon press conference held by the Health Bureau, all questions focused on the Ct-value standard for “recovered cases”, but the authorities repeatedly declined to answer, saying they did not comment on individual cases. Asked for the seventh time, Centre for Health Protection director Chui Lok-kin said there was “no particular fixed threshold” because “each case is very unique”, and that the decision depended on factors including the date of infection, the date of return to Hong Kong and whether the person had symptoms. He reiterated that he could not provide a specific figure.
在外地確診的財政司司長陳茂波順利登機回港,即使在入境核酸檢測結果呈陽性,也被當局評為不具傳染性的「康復個案」。醫衞局下午舉行記者會,全部問題都圍繞「康復個案」的Ct值標準,但局方都避答「不評論特別個案」,問到第七次,衞生防護中心總監徐樂堅終表示「無特別一條界線」,因為「每個個案好獨特」,根據感染日子、返港日子、有無病徵等因素決定,他再重申不能提供一個實際數值。

金融峰會出席者陽性可坐私人飛機離港 盧寵茂否認「大細超」指是「針對性方案」
The International Financial Leaders’ Investment Summit will be held in Hong Kong next month. Bloomberg, citing sources, reported that the Hong Kong government was considering allowing attendees who test positive for the virus to leave the city by private jet. Responding to accusations of applying double standards, Lo Chung-mau of the Health Bureau denied the claim, saying the government’s policy was clear and that the Policy Address had already stated that targeted schemes would be introduced to ensure that mega events, the economy and large-scale activities in Hong Kong could proceed smoothly and safely.

曾斥廢免針紙專橫兒戲 遭吳秋北不點名批「猴戲」 江玉歡稱保留追究權利
The Government previously invalidated more than 20,000 vaccine exemption certificates issued by seven doctors, prompting Election Committee constituency legislator Kong Yuk-wan to condemn the move as lacking a legal basis and being arbitrary and childish. Stanley Ng, a Legislative Council member of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions and an Executive Council member, posted on social media yesterday, criticising an unnamed legislator for seeking attention and putting on a “monkey show”. Kong reposted Ng’s post last night and hit back, saying “anyone with eyes can tell” it was criticism directed at her. She said she had merely reflected public opinion and asked, “As a legislator, does speaking up for the public on livelihood issues make one a ‘monkey’?” Kong, a lawyer, also said she reserved the right to take action over the “defamatory false accusations”.
政府早前廢除7名醫生發出的逾2萬張針紙,遭選委會界別立法會議員江玉歡炮轟法例沒有賦權、做法專橫和兒戲。工聯會立法會議員兼行政會議成員吳秋北昨於社交平台發文,不點名批評有議員「嘩眾取寵」、做「猴戲」。江玉歡晚上轉載吳的文章反擊,指「明眼人也知道是對本人的批評」,並指自己只是如實反映市民意見,反問「難道作為一個議員,為民在民生事項發聲就是『猴子』?」作為律師的她亦指,會對此「誹謗式的不實指控」保留追究權利。

「0+3」後首執法 警票控兩「黃碼」者 另拘一人
After the government implemented the “0+3” inbound arrangement at the end of last month, arrivals were issued a “yellow code” during their three-day medical surveillance period. Since the new measure took effect, police for the first time issued summonses to two members of the public with “yellow codes” who entered a restaurant and a beauty salon, and arrested a woman suspected of using another person’s vaccination record to enter a restaurant. The person responsible for the relevant premises was also prosecuted.
政府上月底實施入境「0+3」後,抵港者3日醫學監測期間獲發「黃碼」。警方自新措施實施後,首次票控兩名持「黃碼」進入餐廳及美容院的市民,並拘捕一名涉嫌使用他人「針卡」進入餐廳的女子,亦檢控有關處所負責人。

持「濫發」免針紙市民 可免費接受醫管局門診諮詢
Seven private doctors were earlier arrested on suspicion of being involved in the ‘over-issuance of vaccination exemption certificates’. The Government announced that the more than 20,000 certificates issued by the seven doctors would become invalid from next Wednesday (the 12th). Legislative Council member Kong Yuk-fun denounced the move as high-handed, but Chief Secretary for Administration Eric Chan Kwok-ki said the arrangement was “reasonable”. The Government announced last night that people holding vaccination exemption certificates issued by the doctors concerned can visit Hospital Authority general outpatient clinics free of charge to seek advice on whether they should continue to be exempted.
7名私家醫生早前疑涉「濫發免針紙」被捕,政府宣布7人發出逾2萬張的「免針紙」下周三(12日)起失效,立法會議員江玉歡直斥做法專橫,惟政務司司長陳國基反駁稱安排「合情合理」。政府昨晚宣布,持有相關醫生發出「免針紙」的市民能免費到訪醫管局轄下普通科門診,以諮詢是否續獲豁免。

江玉歡斥盧寵茂廢除「免針紙」專橫 疫苗通行證違兒童權利
Police earlier arrested seven doctors over alleged improper issuance of vaccine exemption certificates. Secretary for Health Lo Chung-mau subsequently announced that the still-valid certificates issued by the seven doctors would become invalid on October 12, involving more than 20,000 certificates. Legislative Council Election Committee constituency member Jiang Yuk-fun posted on social media yesterday under the title “When Did You Become High-Handed?”, directly accusing Lo Chung-mau of acting high-handedly. She also condemned the Vaccine Pass for causing suffering to an adult and a child, saying children’s rights had been harmed.
早前警方拘捕七名醫生,指涉濫發「免針紙」,醫務衞生局局長盧寵茂及後宣布七名醫生發出、仍然有效的「免針紙」,將於10月12日失效,數量逾2萬張。立法會議員(選委界)江玉歡,昨日在社交媒體以《何時變得專橫》為題出帖,直斥盧寵茂專橫。她又斥疫苗通行證令一長一幼受苦,兒童權利受損。

梁子超指4人限聚令名存實亡 安心出行難發揮追蹤作用
Hong Kong will relax some social-distancing measures from Thursday. Respiratory medicine specialist Chi Chiu (Dr) Leung said the current four-person gathering restriction exists in name only and that LeaveHomeSafe is also unlikely to serve a contact-tracing function, saying both could be scrapped: “The whole design itself was not really able to achieve any contact-tracing effect. Since it has not been useful all along and has not actually played any role, you might as well stop it now.”
本港周四起將放寬部份社交距離措施,呼吸系統科專科醫生梁子超認為,現時的4人限聚令已名存實亡,「安心出行」亦難以發揮追蹤作用,認為均可以取消,「本身成個設計唔係真係發揮到咩追蹤效果,既然你一路都無用,實際上亦都無發揮到作用,你宜家就停咗佢囉。」
