allegations that poor economy Must be open to move forward at this point, there will be no one to stand in the way. Because in the past, the current 2,3,4 waves are not effective enough to control the disease until the epidemic spreads. Exceeding the original measures, the first wave will be effective, but the claim that Tens of people traveling from foreign countries have been diagnosed with infections. Compared to tens of thousands of domestic infections per day Therefore, opening the country to the economy that has to be done and continues is not the right logic. But the above phenomenon In fact, it reflects that The epidemic situation in the country is severe.

What to do is Presenting the real situation to the people in the society to know that the epidemic is severe can’t take it now But they can help each other by living conscious lives. protect yourself regularly Forget about the past life Removing the mask is not something that can be done in a short time. The state must prepare a service system for comprehensive and thorough examination, care and rehabilitation of COVID-19 patients.
Creating policies and measures Must not use personal or group beliefs to push for cold or influenza acceptance, although current knowledge is unable to determine so. and abandoned the original idea to declare it endemic which is impossible in a short time
