Last update date: 2020-08-22 03:29The new crown pneumonia epidemic continues. Hong Kong added 27 new confirmed cases yesterday (21st), bringing a total of 4,632 people infected. One of the cases was an unattainable case. The patient was an 81-year-old male resident at Fung Shing Nursing Home at Tai Loong Street, Kwai Chung (the 4630th case). Because he was free to walk around, he sought medical attention again on the 16th of this month. (21-22) The Center for Health Protection arranged for about 70 residents and 10 employees of the hospital to be evacuated for quarantine. The auxiliary medical team was also present to assist.
In addition, a member of the Tai Kok Tsui Joy Care Home for the Elderly also had a preliminary diagnosis. He was found to have a fever the day before (20th) due to the need to go to Kwong Wah Hospital for dialysis and undergo regular virus tests. Since I had a meal with my family, infection in the community cannot be ruled out. About 40 residents and 10 employees were also evacuated under the arrangement of the authorities last night (21st) for quarantine.
