They are all night shifts and are responsible for the general cleaning and disinfection of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Hong Kong Port Passenger Inspection Building .
After a cleaning staff first had a diagnosis last Thursday (10th), the subcontractor has carried out a comprehensive cleaning and disinfection of the relevant work and activities to ensure environmental hygiene.
[18:30] The Center for Health Protection stated that a confirmed foreign domestic helper would spend the night at a foreign domestic helper's dormitory in Fung Nian Building, Tai Po. A neighbour on the scene revealed that there had been cleaners to clean it today. Other residents said that foreign domestic helpers often come and go in the building. "Not only on weekends, but on leisure days." She learned that there were people in the building and immediately put on gloves to enter and leave.
[18:10] Yuan Guoyong also said that the epidemic in winter must be worse than in summer, because the environment is good for the survival of the virus, so in the case of dry air, once the particles are released, they will volatilize and stay in the air for a longer time. Therefore, there are also many cases of no source in winter. People are urged to pay attention to hand hygiene and wear masks. As long as they do well, the epidemic is expected to fall back on Christmas Day. "Everyone is happy to return."

New crown pneumonia│3 households in Room 15 of Guidong Building, Dongtou Village, diagnosed Yuan Guoyong: Spoiler involved the virus in the unit
[17:54] Ou Jiarong, chief physician of the Center for Health Protection of the Department of Health, said that six units in Guidong Building have confirmed cases. The latest two units are Room 06 and Room 15.
The first reported case at the end of November involved the high-level unit No. 16, and in early December, the unit involved No. 15 was all on this floor. It was related to the Lohas Park Phase 9 site and involved 4 cases.
In the first case, the unit with Room 04 on the same floor was related to the previous case. In the past one or two days, 3 more units were discovered, including Unit 15 and Unit 06. Unit 15 had cases on 3 floors.
Yuan Guoyong pointed out that there was an outbreak in the 15-room unit of the building, and four patients had been diagnosed in room 2315.
The unit had patients on the Lohas Park site and infected their family members. Seven to eight days later, room 2415 was also diagnosed.
He pointed out that he has seen no broken pipes, no problems with U-shaped air barriers, and no one modified the unit. However, since there are 4 patients in a unit of 2315, the viral load is high, and the air heating will increase if the exhaust fan is turned on. In the upper kitchen, room 2415, where residents open windows and range hoods when cooking, there is a negative pressure environment, which draws aerosols or virus particles into the house, causing infection in all units.
He also said that the virus should not have spread from the 24th floor to the 29th floor, but after the inspection, it was found that the air hose of the fecal channel was not too high after reaching the roof. When the north wind blows, there will be a "circumfluence effect", causing the virus-laden air to fall. Go to room 2915.
Therefore, he suggested that the units above Room 2315 should be evacuated and checked into the quarantine center until the Environmental Protection Agency completes the assessment, and there is no need to evacuate the units below Room 2315, but an antigen test should be done tonight.
Yuan Guoyong also pointed out that since there was also a patient in Room 1906 whose source of infection was unknown, the testing company would be asked to help the unit on the upper and lower floors of the unit to test, but quarantine would not be required.
He urged members of the public to find a professional to check the pipe if they smell the toilet/when the air is turned on.
Every week, half to one liter of water is poured into the U-shaped pipe. The Health Protection Center will take samples from the affected units, including exhaust fans, windows, and vent pipes.
He also pointed out that the situation this time is similar to the spread that occurred in the Hengtai Building earlier, but it is different from the Regent Garden. It is believed that the virus was pumped out of the air to the kitchens of other units. "It is a new discovery and has not been seen before." He reminded that, for example, the kitchen window of a citizen's unit is similar to the lower toilet window, so he reminded that the window can be closed before the range hood can cook.
As for the 2116-room units and the 2104-room units, they are related to other groups and have nothing to do with building design.
However, the residents of the upper and lower floors must be tested.
[17:10] Zhang Zhujun said that a mandatory testing order will be issued later, requiring residents of Guidong Building and those who have been to the scene to be tested.
She also revealed that a unit in Guidong Building is related to the site group of Lohas Park Phase 9.

Some people have symptoms for more than a week. The patients may feel that they are "very mild and not meant to be recruited", so I suggest not to take it lightly. , Especially if you are on the road for asthma, you must see a doctor as soon as possible, because many people do not go out on the street, and you may not find that you are suffering from asthma. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to whether it is easy to breathe when walking around at home, and see the doctor as soon as possible. One or two days, one or two days will affect the treatment effect afterwards."
[16:50]
Zhang Zhujun also pointed out that he noticed that there were two confirmed foreign domestic helpers who would spend the weekend in a place similar to a dormitory. The address is Fengnian Building, Tai Po. Since there are still preliminary positive cases, they have also been there. How many close contacts are being followed up.
[16:45] Hu Dechao pointed out that after looking up the patient data in the past 11 months, it was found that about 300 patients had been in the intensive care unit, and half of them were under 70 years old. Therefore, the public should not think that young people must have mild illness.
He also pointed out that many patients with serious illnesses have mild symptoms in the first week of diagnosis, with only a few sore throats and fevers. They are not concerned about their illnesses, but he reiterated that they should seek medical advice as soon as possible, because late diagnosis will make the situation worse, and cells will appear later. The factor storm will worsen the condition, showing signs of pneumonia and fever. Therefore, it is recommended that people with fever and sore throat should seek medical advice as soon as possible. The earlier treatment and diagnosis, the better the effect.
He also described that some patients will get worse, "We call it a water drop."

[09:45] Zeng Qiyin said that 41 more cases of unknown origin were added yesterday, which is worrying and shows that there are still many invisible transmissions in the community.
However, he said that the virus variant has not been heard yet, but because the confirmed persons are involved in different classes, the situation is more severe than the third wave. Even if all epidemic prevention measures are implemented, it is believed that the epidemic will last longer than the third wave.
New crown pneumonia | Zeng Qiyin: It is expected that no virus variants have been heard in this wave of the epidemic compared to the third wavelength [09:30] Xu Shuchang, a government expert consultant and chair professor of the Department of Respiratory System at CUHK, said that the government’s tightened epidemic prevention measures took effect last Thursday. It is estimated that it will take a week or two for the effect to be effective. It is believed that the current epidemic situation in Hong Kong is "strengthening at its peak," and it should start to decline in a week or two.
Regarding the government’s earlier announcement that it would vaccinate citizens for free, but citizens could not choose which vaccine to vaccinate, Xu Shuchang pointed out that the two vaccines currently purchased by the government have been reported in medical journals to prove their possible side effects and protection rate. The vaccine is also expected to be reported in medical journals within a few weeks.
He predicts that the new crown virus variant is not as fast as the flu, and the chance of fighting again every year is "not high."
Zeng Qiyin, the co-chairman of the Infectious Disease Advisory Committee of the Medical Association, also said in an interview with Hong Kong and Taiwan's "Millennium" that he learned that private clinics can get the new crown pneumonia vaccine, and think that if citizens are worried about the vaccine, they can wait for more. Data research depends on which vaccine antibodies last longer.
[09:15] The new crown pneumonia epidemic continues. A total of three units in Mingli Building, Caiyun Village have been diagnosed, and a total of 4 people have been infected.
The authorities stated yesterday that they would send sample bottles to residents for testing today (14th), but no one was seen on the scene to distribute sample bottles to residents at 9 am. Some residents said frankly that they felt very confused. So far they have not received instructions. Some people plan to go to the outpatient clinic or The post office picked up the sample bottle on its own.
