The outbreak of the new type of coronary pneumonia virus has continued. There have been 74 outbreaks in Hong Kong so far, and there have been outbreaks of the Buddhist group. A total of 4 cases involved went to the "Fu Hui Jing She" at Meilun Building in North Point at similar times. Infectious and infectious disease specialists Tsang Yin-yin (24th) said in the Millennium Times of Hong Kong and Taiwan that the Buddhist temple may have environmental pollutants, such as virus-containing droplets, and thinks that the Department of Health sent people for the ultimate disinfection. However, because Buddhist activities such as chanting or distributing food involve hand contact, buddha buddies may also remove their masks, which is a high-risk activity and requires close follow-up. He also thinks that foreign domestic helpers attending church activities on weekends are particularly worthy of attention. Because they have little contact information and may not keep up with the latest epidemic situation, he urged the Hong Kong government to promote more. He also suggested that Diamond Princess passengers also need to return to Hong Kong. Full test again.

The outbreak of the new type of coronary pneumonia virus has continued. There have been 74 outbreaks in Hong Kong so far, and there have been outbreaks of the Buddhist group. A total of 4 cases involved went to the "Fu Hui Jing She" at Meilun Building in North Point at similar times.

Infectious and infectious disease specialists Tsang Yin-yin (24th) said in the Millennium Times of Hong Kong and Taiwan that the Buddhist temple may have environmental pollutants, such as virus-containing droplets, and thinks that the Department of Health sent people for the ultimate disinfection. However, because Buddhist activities such as chanting or distributing food involve hand contact, buddha buddies may also remove their masks, which is a high-risk activity and requires close follow-up.

He also thinks that foreign domestic helpers attending church activities on weekends are particularly worthy of attention. Because they have little contact information and may not keep up with the latest epidemic situation, he urged the Hong Kong government to promote more. He also suggested that Diamond Princess passengers also need to return to Hong Kong. Full test again.

Zeng Qiyin said that 10 to 15 minutes without face masks within two meters of each other can be defined as close contacts. Due to the activities in the Buddhist temple or close contact, more than one person worshiped at the same time. It ’s easy to pass on one by one. ”Then it was necessary to closely track those who had been to the Buddhist temple. As for those who live in the same building or enter and exit, he thinks that they can pay appropriate attention and clean the environment thoroughly. If they have entered or exited on the relevant day and have symptoms afterwards, they should take the initiative to declare.

He also pointed out that the data showed that 30% of the diagnosed persons were from Hong Kong Island. They believed that there was a chain of transmission, and that they could not completely exclude infected people from spreading viruses in the community. The Department of Health should use supercomputers to track down. He also said that he was particularly concerned about foreign domestic helpers who participated in church activities on weekends. Because they did not have much information, they might not keep up with the latest epidemic situation. He urged the Hong Kong government to promote more or strengthen communication through the Immigration Department. Better to proceed.

When asked about the grandfather of Taikoo Shing ’s engineer, he was formally diagnosed as suspected, but he speculated that it may be related to several factors, including when the virus secretion is not enough or a “false negative” occurs. The number of samples taken also affects the test criteria and symptoms. Repeated or have a history of travel, you can request a review.

He also pointed out that the Diamond Princess passenger may return to Hong Kong to be diagnosed, which may involve a number of possibilities, including that the virus may not be sufficient when tested in Japan, and the sampling may not be deeper or more accurate. Another key is that the sampling time may also appear. He believes that all returning passengers must be tested again, "at least once."

As for the mandatory quarantine order? He pointed out that the seizure has been decided, "the family has only 14 days of isolation, do everything", and the Hong Kong Government must also let the quarantined people know that freedom is restricted and "have a certain degree of deterrence." Because there are invisible drug users in the community, he said that there may be sporadic cases of individual groups, and he urged the public to minimize unnecessary friendships.

District Council Member: The building is now diagnosed with a case. The corporation has identified a cleaning company for disinfection that night.

Eastern District Councillor Li Yuxin said that when a confirmed case occurred in the building, the corporation searched for disinfection by a cleaning company that night. The Department of Health went to disinfection the next night and criticized it as inappropriate.
