Last update date: 2020-07-30 18:13The new crown pneumonia epidemic is severe, with 149 more confirmed cases today (30th), and more than 100 cases have been recorded for 9 consecutive days. The Sheung Shui Slaughterhouse has 2 more confirmed cases today, and a total of 7 confirmed cases and 3 preliminary confirmed cases. However, the government has not yet arranged to close the slaughterhouse.
The Deputy Director of the Food and Health Bureau, Xu Deyi, said today (30th) that the slaughterhouse was closed during the African swine fever last year because it was necessary to reduce the infection among pigs and eliminate the pigs completely, which was different from the current consideration. He continued that the existing disinfection work in the slaughterhouse has already been guaranteed.

The Deputy Director of the Food and Health Bureau Xu Deyi pointed out that when the African swine fever broke out last year, it was necessary to reduce the infection between each batch of pigs and completely eliminate the pigs. Therefore, the slaughterhouse needed to be closed, which was different from the current consideration. He also said that since last year, the slaughterhouse has implemented the "daily cleaning" measure, that is, disinfection will be carried out after the pig pens are emptied every day, and the entire slaughterhouse will be disinfected after a confirmed case.
The slaughterhouse may have environmental pollution
Two more confirmed cases in the Sheung Shui Slaughterhouse today are initially confirmed cases earlier. The case numbers are 3069 and 3149. In addition, Zhang Zhujun, director of the Infectious Diseases Division of the Center for Health Protection of the Department of Health, said that during the large-scale inspection of slaughterhouse employees, the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department found three more preliminary confirmed cases, including transport drivers and civilian employees. She also said that there was contact between the staff, but not close contact. It is believed that the slaughterhouse has environmental pollution, and the FEHD has carried out cleaning work. Among the confirmed cases are drivers, buyers and staff.
