He also said that street vendors in Hung Hom would take off their masks to eat, drink, and party. These activities have a high chance of infection.

The third wave of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong has not been under control. The Department of Health announced today (4th) that 80 new confirmed cases have increased to 3,670, which is the second consecutive day that the number of confirmed cases has fallen below 100. Among the new cases, 5 were imported cases, 43 were related to other confirmed cases, and the source of infection was unknown in 32. About 50 cases were initially confirmed.

However, multiple work groups are still erupting. Among them, two people in the Star Global group of the MLM company were diagnosed and three people were initially diagnosed. As of this evening, a total of 42 confirmed cases have died, most of whom are elderly. Among them, an 85-year-old man from Princess Margaret Hospital was diagnosed today and passed away in the afternoon.

Zhang Zhujun said that as two fish stalls in the Hung Hom Market were diagnosed separately, there were a total of 10 confirmed cases in the Hung Hom Market. The analysis revealed that the fish stalls in the Hung Hom Market and the To Kwa Wan Market had human infections, possibly involving environmental infections.

Professor Yuan Guoyong of the Department of Microbiology of the University of Hong Kong visited the two markets and pointed out that it is believed that humans may bring the virus into the markets and spread it through saliva, touch objects, feces and rats. He also said that street vendors in Hung Hom would take off their masks to eat, drink, and party. These activities have a high chance of infection.

[21:09] A spokesperson for Tuen Mun Hospital announced that a confirmed 82-year-old male patient (case number: 2942) passed away at 8:26 this evening. The deceased was a resident of the Golden Branch of Tuen Mun Kang Wo Nursing Centre for the Elderly. He had a long-term illness and was admitted to Tuen Mun Hospital for treatment on July 28 due to fever. The hospital feels sad about the death of the patient and will provide appropriate assistance to the family.

Together with the above cases, a total of 42 confirmed cases of COVID-19 have passed away in public hospitals so far.

[18:48] Yuan Guoyong met with reporters after inspecting the market in To Kwa Wan. He said that he believed that due to the outbreak of the local community, the virus was brought to the market by people. The environment of the market is cramped and there is rubbish, which makes it easy to cross-infect the two markets. He pointed out that markets are prone to outbreaks, and local markets are mostly cash transactions, and there is also a chance of spreading the virus. He urged the public to clean their hands before and after going to the market.

[18:05] Yuan Guoyong visited Hung Hom Market and To Kwa Wan Market in the evening. After patrolling the Hung Hom market, he told the media that in view of the outbreak of the epidemic in Wuhan South China Seafood Market, Beijing Xinfadi Market and Dalian Market in the Mainland, he was worried about the same situation in Hung Hom and To Kwawan Markets. The Hung Hom Market had its first confirmed case as early as July 13, and there are still new cases today, and environmental samples have been taken for testing. He also pointed out that the fish or seafood sold at various stalls "don't know the side" can only sample the water quality of the fish stalls, chopping boards, bangs, and sewers.

Yuan Guoyong also pointed out that at this stage, it is impossible to distinguish how the virus spread in the market, and it is estimated that there are four possible ways of transmission. He believes that the virus may be brought into the market by humans and spread through saliva, human hands, feces and rats. He also said that market stalls will rest for a few hours in the afternoon, and stall vendors may take off their masks to eat, drink, and party, etc. The chance of infection is greater. Markets are now closed for cleaning, and the FEHD will also take the opportunity to catch mice. Some neighbours told Yuan that there were at least five cats in the market stalls. Yuan said that if the team found cats, they would be taken away for testing.
