Medical Association: Coronavirus outbreak yet under control
Dr Choi Kin, former president of the Hong Kong Medical Association, criticized the World Health Organization's claim that there is no need to wear a mask when there is no signs of illness is inappropriate. Choi countered that there had already been many "Invisible patients" spreading the virus, if people do not wear masks, the outbreak will not stop. He doubted, "I am not sure whether the government has exercised their independent thinking, and it is not necessary to follow the WHO recommendations word by word blindly".
When taking a group photo, Choi, the only person in the audience wearing a black mask suddenly showed pro-democracy protest slogan "five demands, not one less" by raising 5 fingers on one hand and one on the other.

Medical Association in HK Cautions Police Involvement in Mandatory COVID19 Test Enforcement
Earlier, the Hong Kong Government briefly mentioned its intension to request high-risk population to undergo “mandatory COVID-19 test” in order to gauge public response.
Meanwhile, Professor of #HKU Microbiology Department Yuen Kwok-yung proposed that persons with onset of mild symptoms should also undergo “mandatory COVID-19 test”.
President of the HK's Medical Association, Choi Kin revealed that he was invited by the Food and Health Bureau to discuss the “mandatory COVID-19 test” enforcement. Choi reiterated his reservation, as seeking police involvement in medical cases could be detrimental to doctor-and-patient relationship and that could even lead to patients' refusal to pursue medical attention.
