creating a st_contains query with geographies not geometries

Question

I'm trying to find all the geography points that are contained in a geography polygon, let say all the traffic lights within a given city or neighborhoods,

how can i convert this working st_intersect query to work with contained and remain with geographies not geometries

select count(*) from table1
where table1.UniqueID in (
SELECT table1.UniqueID
FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON ST_Intersects(table1.point, table2.polygon)
where table2.UniqueID = 2); 

Answer 1

For the point/polygons case, ST_Contains and ST_Intersects are equivalent.
