Last updated: 2020-02-28 16:42The outbreak of new coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19), commonly known as "Wuhan pneumonia," continued. The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department stated that a new coronavirus was detected in the oral cavity and nasal cavity of dogs who were diagnosed. The confirmed case was suspected to be the 85th in Hong Kong. In the case, the horse owner Zhou Qiao'er was a rich man. According to the Department of Health, Zhou Zeng went to the Happy Valley Veterinary Clinic and Hospital on February 22 to collect medicine for his dogs.
A spokesman for the clinic said today (28th) that Zhou Qiaoer had visited and stayed for 3 minutes, and his dog had not been there. The dog itself has a long-term illness and needs to take medications for heart and kidney disease. The last time I saw a veterinarian at the clinic was in December last year.
A spokesman for the clinic said the dog had a long-term illness and therefore had to be consulted for 3 to 6 months. The owner would go to the clinic to get medicine for the dog every month. After learning that some patients had visited the clinic, they had watched CCTV. On the same day, Qiaoer and the staff also wore masks. The clinic has also notified the Department of Health, but the authorities responded that due to the short stay of confirmed patients, the clinic was not required to disinfect and take samples.

Stay for 3 minutes. The clinic was strengthened in cleaning and disinfection after being informed on the evening of Wednesday (26th), and staff who had contacted the patient were immediately quarantined until further notice.
In addition, the clinic is open as usual, staff wear masks, and many places, including the gate, reception, etc. posted disinfection notices every two hours, disinfection hand rub is placed in the clinic. The staff member said that the disinfection measures had been implemented before a patient visited. She said that the patient had only visited the medicines and did not go to the clinic with the dog.
