【明報專訊】FOR FIVE DAYS in a row Hong Kong has registered single-digit numbers of coronavirus cases, and there are growing calls for the relaxation of social distancing restrictions. It remains unknown when the fight against the pandemic can come to an end. With such a protracted war, as it were, it is easy to feel weary. To tackle the second wave of the outbreak, Hong Kong society as a whole has been under great strain over the past few weeks, and "battle fatigue" has occurred. If the outbreak in Hong Kong continues to ebb away, some of the stringent measures of social distancing can be relaxed in an appropriate manner so as to allow the public to have a respite, be reinvigorated and prepare for the next wave of outbreak.
