Government expert adviser Kong Fanyi stressed on a radio program yesterday that the mainland has downgraded the new coronary pneumonia to “Class B and B,” meaning it’s not much different from the flu. He also said Hong Kong has mixed immunity, and around 5 million people are estimated to have been infected. Expert Opinions all believe isolation requirements for confirmed cases can be lifted. He explained that it is not advisable to go to work if you have a fever and other symptoms and will wear a mask to work if your body allows it after the fever subsides.
