日前,政府宣布40万户较低收入家庭,本月25日起至12月1日,可到民众俱乐部和联络所,领取价值50元的社区理事会生活补助券。 这些补助券可用来到邻里商店和小贩摊位换取餐饮、生活必需品及服务。 上述“社理会生活补助券计划”(CDC Vouchers Scheme),价值2000万元,当局声称是为了在疫情艰难时期,协助低收入家庭减轻生活费负担,同时扶持邻里店家和小贩。 对此,人民党主席乔立盟暗讽上述宣布时机“真是时候”。 尽管乔立盟认同,需扶持小商贩和帮助有需要的群体,但也质疑当局宣布的时机和分配补助券的方法。 既然可以致函这些合格家庭,通知上述政府优惠。但考量到目前仍是疫情期间,乔立盟也质疑,为何不能透过邮寄或电邮等方式,把补助券交到这批民众手上,非得要让他们到民众俱乐部和联络所排队群聚? 再者,他也提出分派方式也应考量到家庭人数和收入水平。
截至本月13日,中国境内出现57例冠状病毒19确诊病例,包括19境外输入病例(广东17例、上海及重庆各1例);本土病例38例(北京36,辽宁2例)。 截至14日午夜前,北京市内本地确诊病例累计达463例,其中9人死亡,另尚有43人留院。 北京多例本土病例,多人曾前往或在丰台区新发地批发市场工作,或与相关人士有接触史,这也引来中国可能爆发第二波疫情的忧虑。 中国官方称新发地市场暂时休市,全面消毒,同时也启动了“战时机制”。当地医疗人员在北京市进行检测,在新发地市场采集的517件咽拭子样本中,竟多达45人呈阳性。
