2020-08-24T03:58:44.972Z


The new crown pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong has gradually eased. Yesterday (23rd) there were 25 new confirmed cases in a single day, with a total of 4,683 patients, and less than 10 preliminary confirmed cases, a record low since the third wave of the epidemic. Director of the Department of Diseases, Zhang Zhujun, described that although the number of cases has begun to decline, "the department has fallen at the first level, and the speed is not so fast." The SWD arranged tests for the employees of residential care homes for the elderly and found 3 confirmed cases, both of which were employees of Hong Chi Lei Muk Shue Dormitory. The authorities estimated that it was a small outbreak, or it was related to the difficulty of wearing masks for residents. For close contacts, quarantine is required along with employees. A 44-year-old Indian domestic helper staying in the East District Hospital was admitted to the hospital for chemotherapy for acute leukemia at the end of July. When she was tested for the virus for the third time recently, 52 patients in the same ward were listed as close tracers. It was discovered that the employer of the Indian domestic helper involved had been diagnosed earlier. The Indian domestic helper should be a close contact. The Department of Health admitted that there was a "missing" during the tracking.
