The new coronavirus pneumonia COVID-19 epidemic continued. Today (6th), there were 24 new cases, one of them was working at the Marks & Spencer Martha supermarket in Fort Royal, Causeway Bay. The reporter arrived at the branch at 6 pm and found that it was still operating as usual. There were no notices posted outside the door and no additional epidemic prevention measures. What I saw at the scene was that although the store was not crowded, but the customers were endless. The reporter asked multiple guests outside the store to see if they knew that a clerk had confirmed the diagnosis. As a result, everyone expressed no knowledge. Some people who have just bought utensils at the store said they were worried and criticized that the store should not be open for business. They should post a notice outside the door to inform the public that a staff member had confirmed the diagnosis. Another member of the public knew that a shop assistant immediately cleaned his hands with alcohol rubbing liquid after he was diagnosed, saying that he was "surprised and worried".

The reporter asked multiple guests outside the store to find out if they knew that a clerk had confirmed the diagnosis. As a result, everyone expressed no knowledge. Some people who have just bought utensils at the store said they were worried and criticized that the store should not be open for business. They should post a notice outside the door to inform the public that a staff member had confirmed the diagnosis. Another member of the public knew that a shop assistant immediately cleaned his hands with alcohol rubbing liquid after he was diagnosed, saying that he was "surprised and worried".

Zhang Zhujun, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Center for Health Protection, said that 24 new cases were diagnosed today. One of them was a 48-year-old male patient working at Marks & Spencer Martha Supermarket in Causeway Bay. The patient developed symptoms on March 23 and went to the CEO of Causeway Bay on March 25 to sing K.

The reporter went to the branch to observe at about 5:45 pm. The store was open as usual, and no special notices were posted. The public came in and walked into the store without any crowding; the staff put on masks and gloves.

Many citizens who stepped out of the store said that they did not know that the store had staff to consult, and some of them took the initiative to learn about the incident from reporters. The lady initially thought she was not worried when she was diagnosed by a customer; but when she knew that the diagnosed person was a staff member who had loaded and unloaded the goods, she immediately took out alcohol rubbing liquid to clean her hands. "Surprised and worried", and then told the reporter Thank you and leave immediately.

Another Liang, who had just purchased the utensils, admitted that he was worried after knowing that they would thoroughly disinfect the utensils before using them. He said that he went to another supermarket with confirmed cases before, but found that there was no business when he arrived, and posted a notice indicating that there were confirmed cases. He believes that Martha should also adopt the same measures, criticizing the current method as inappropriate. Regarding the sharp rise in the number of diagnosed cases recently, he criticized the government for its ineffectiveness in epidemic prevention. "It seems like there is no government, zero points!"

Mr. Yang, who bought food in the store, did not know it, but thought that he did not need to worry too much. He could go home and package it with alcohol-sterilized food, without having to discard it. During the visit, Mr. Yang took out hand sanitizer and rubbed his hands to clean his hands. However, he pointed out that it had nothing to do with the clerk's diagnosis. He just thought that enough foot protection measures, such as cleaning his hands, would provide adequate protection.
