Chen Zhaoshi, director of the Food and Drug Administration, said in the "Saturday Accountability" of Hong Kong and Taiwan this morning that he was worried about the development of the epidemic near Hong Kong and believed that the outbreak was related to the frequent social activities of the citizens. In Shuiquan'ao Village, which was the most severely affected area, there was a leak in the pipes yesterday, which caused people to worry about the emergence of "Tao Da 2.0". However, Chen Zhaoshi pointed out that experts had visited the village and no problems were found. Environmental samples have been taken for testing .

Residents can stay at home as much as possible to help cut off the chain of transmission

She emphasized that the Center for Health Protection also wanted to get invisible patients as soon as possible. The center has distributed deep-throat saliva sample bottles in village shopping malls and markets. The village has not been tested for the time being, but it does not rule out that the scope of the test will be expanded after the risk assessment. If some citizens are worried, the Chinese medicine clinics in the 18 districts of the district also send sample bottles for the citizens to test.

Residents of Shuiquan'ao Village moved out of the community because they were worried. Chen Zhaoshi responded and understood that they had concerns, but he emphasized that experts had inspected without problems and hoped that residents could stay at home as much as possible before the results of environmental samples were available to help cut off the chain of transmission.
