Last updated: 2020-02-24 08:50The pneumonia epidemic in Wuhan continues, and the number of confirmed cases in many countries around the world is on the rise. Japan and South Korea have also been affected. Yuan Guoyong, Chair Professor of the Department of Microbiology at the University of Hong Kong, said that the Centre for Health Protection of the Department of Health is discussing whether quarantine measures need to be taken for people entering from Japan and South Korea, such as whether medical surveillance is required or whether quarantine is mandatory. He believes that the specific measures will depend on where they are coming from. If they come from Daegu City, South Korea with multiple confirmed cases, measures may be necessary; Seoul may not.
In addition, four people from the cruise Diamond Princess returned to Hong Kong to quarantine at Junyang Village were diagnosed with the infection. Yuan Guoyong believes that it may be because the patient was still in the incubation period when the test was conducted in Japan, and the amount of virus was too small to be detected. He suggested that Diamond Princess returnees should be tested again. If 7 days after the quarantine, antibodies appear on their bodies and the test result is negative again, quarantine can be completed earlier.
