他国被迫“锁国” 陈川仁:一开始未能管控病毒传播

在今日(25日)召开国会前夕,国会议长陈川仁今早在脸书发文,指其他国家被迫转向“封境”措施,是因为未能一开始管控住传播,导致后来病例数增长、医疗体系不堪重负。

“这正是在中国、伊朗、意大利发生的事,接下来会是… …?”他也指当前这些国家只能采取封锁减缓病毒传播,但他担忧可能已错过防堵窗口。陈川仁也指我国还在可控范围,还不到上述国家的地步,因为一开始就已采取措施,例如香港、台湾和韩国也展示他们如何应对疫情。

新加坡在昨日新增49起武汉冠状病毒(COVID-19)确诊病例,本地累计确诊558例。与此同时我国也宣布落实更严厉措施,包括乐龄活动停办、娱乐场所停止运营等。

有不少民众质问,为何当初就采取严谨措施?为何政策一改再改?有者甚至质问是否这些措施太严苛?

对此陈川仁认为,打从疫情出现,我国就致力把感染率维持在最低,以便能更好地照顾病患,透过一些列措施来追踪和隔离,致使目前得以把病例数量维持在可控范围,医疗系统不至于超过负荷,医护人员能照顾严重病患。

依据需要进行管制

他认为我国政府是依据需要进行管制。当前较严厉管制措施影响日常生活和经济,但更多是关乎管理风险和减少感染率、协助病患康复。

“至今我们都做得相当不错,但随着有海外国人返国,如今迎来第二波疫情。但我们必须让他们回来,都是我们的国人,即时他们病了也要照顾。”

他指由于其他地区陷入混乱状态,预计未来数周或几个月内还有更多国人回来,也意味着也有病例增加的可能。他认为这就是为何政府宣布了新的举措。

不过,他又直言,其他国家喜剧性地被迫转向封镜措施,是因为已失去控制,“他们没能管控一开始的传播,已传播到社区且病例数指数型增长,随之医疗系统不胜负荷,也致使死亡率攀升。”

“这正是在中国、伊朗、意大利发生的事,接下来是….?这些都会发生除非采取紧急的封锁措施(有些还三心两意?)才能减缓病毒传播。我担忧他们已错失窗口。”

他认为我国还在控制范围,还不到上述国家的地步,因为一开始就已采取措施,例如香港、台湾和韩国也展示他们如何应对疫情。

最后他也向国人求助。他说,那些在疫情发生前就在国外工作、留学的国人,如果他们要回来即便存在风险,也要接回来;但如果国人被劝告不要出国还不听,若他们回国则可能危及他人生命。那些理应遵守居家通知的如果还要外出参加聚会等,也同样可恶。
