The novel pneumonia epidemic continues. As of today (27th), 13 cases have been recorded in Block C of Dongfa Building, Jinping Street, North Point. Government expert consultants and Professor Yuan Guoyong of the Department of Microbiology of the University of Hong Kong and others visited Block C of the building today. It was discovered that units 6 and 7 were spreading vertically, and the authorities immediately evacuated all residents of units 6 and 7.
The government issued a mandatory inspection announcement in the evening, requiring all residents in Blocks A, B, C, and D of Dongfa Building to be tested.
However, before the government’s announcement, the residents of Block B bluntly said they were worried about being infected. They went home immediately after work and packed up their luggage. They planned to move with their children to relatives’ homes for a week. They said they were most worried about the authorities’ sudden closure of the area. If the work is done well, if the single mother does not start work, the rent will be paid.” Other residents and security guards immediately went to the nearby testing station to be tested for the virus after learning about the outbreak.
Yuan Guoyong pointed out that Units 6 and 7 of Block C of Dongfa Building share a patio. If residents of relevant units remain in the house in danger, they will be evacuated as soon as possible.
He continued that some units in Blocks B and D also share the same patio, but since no cases have been found, there is no need to evacuate for the time being.
The government announced in the evening that it will require people who have been in Blocks A, B and D of Dongfa Building for more than two hours between January 14 and January 27 to be tested for the virus on or before January 29.
If the subject has been tested between January 25th and January 27th, they will be deemed to have complied with the requirements of the mandatory testing announcement.
About half an hour after Yuan Guoyong left, that is, at about 5:40, residents of Block C successively evacuated with their luggage and boarded a vehicle arranged by the authorities.
Another security guard of Block C just went to work and said that he did not know the actual situation, but he needed to rush to check.
Ms. Li, who lives in Room 8 of Block B, just got off work. She said that she had just learned that the patio was shared with Block C, so she decided to go home immediately to pack up, and stay with her son at a relative’s house for a week, "to avoid the limelight." She said, She seldom goes out to eat, and she rarely opens windows at home, but she is worried that the government will suddenly close the area. He also pointed out that he had been tested for the virus at the beginning of the month, but stressed that he would be tested again.
Mr. Lu, a resident of Block C, put on his blindfold and walked into the street.
He said that the overall sanitation of the building is acceptable, and there is not much smell. However, although there is a lot of garbage in the patio and some abandoned furniture, it has not been cleaned for many months.
He also pointed out that some units operate short-term rental services and receive many foreigners.
As to whether he will leave the building temporarily, he has no plans yet, and asks, "Can you go to the side?"
Ms. Ye, a resident of Room 3, Block B, also pointed out that garbage appeared in the patio of the building from time to time. The windows were rarely opened in the house, and the exhaust fan was usually turned on.
She said that she had just been tested for the virus again. Although she was worried about the outbreak, she did not plan to leave for the time being. She believed it was safe.
