我国骨痛热症病例不断攀升,在上周就创下了单周最大激增幅度,超过了500起,累积了将近7100起病例。 根据国家环境局数据显示,我国目前正处于冠状病毒疫情阻断措施期间,但是骨痛热症病却不断增加,单单在上周就累积了510起病例,刷新了单周新增病例纪录。 国家环境局指出,为了避免建筑工地在停工沦为黑斑蚊的繁殖温床,在阻断措施期间已经展开了约680次工地检查。 然而,随着病例的增加,病例集中区也增加至110个以上。 政府也加强了骨痛热症的应对措施,除了提高民众意识外,也派发杀虫剂到民众的信箱内,增加地区检查和灭蚊喷雾频率。
律政部长于本月13日,援引《w防止网络假消息和网络操纵法令》,向历史学者兼《新叙事》总监覃炳鑫博士发出更正指示。 根据《防假消息法》办公处文告,当局认为覃炳鑫在本月8日发布在Youtube的视频,对于《防假消息法》含有不实声明。 而政府澄清事实官网Factually,则反驳覃炳鑫在视频中的说法,强调《防假消息法》仅针对虚假事实陈述,并不会针对意见观点,至于有关陈述属实与否存争议,可带到法庭辩真章。 在原视频,覃炳鑫批评在《防假消息法》第二条文(b)项,对所谓虚假陈述的定义似乎太广泛,只有一点错误,那么整个陈述就可被认为是虚假的。对此政府声明则指,法院已发展出如何评估虚假的标准,故此这种说法并不正确。 声明中也重申法庭可对《防假消息法》执行权力进行监督;与此同时,还强调,有别于覃炳鑫博士的指控,实则人民仍可自由批评或不认同政府观点。 当局也指出,目前18项《防假消息法》案例中,有11项时针对冠状病毒19 疫情的假消息,更正指示也在24小时甚至于数小时内发出。 当局也称,即便发出更正指示,不过覃炳鑫的相关视频民众仍可观看,这也反驳政府透过此法审查言论的说法。
