Last update date: 2020-08-05 20:58The new crown pneumonia epidemic continues. Earlier, there were multiple confirmed cases in the Hung Hom market. The University of Hong Kong expert Yuan Guoyong suspected cats are one of the ways of transmission. Ma On Shan Sunshine City Market has issued cat repellent orders to merchants since last night, requiring stall owners to remove the cats from the store, otherwise they will take action. The hot-blooded citizen Tai Po District Councillor Wong Siu Kin followed up the incident and asked the market to withdraw the "cat repellent order" and asked the AFCD about the cat quarantine situation in Hung Hom Market and To Kwa Wan Market.
The hot-blooded citizen Huang Zhaojian said on Facebook that after he learned of the incident, he immediately went to the market to understand the incident and inquired with the mall management office. He found that they did issue a cat repellent order to persuade the head of the household to move the cat away, but the relevant instructions indicated It will be implemented in the short term, and whether it will be implemented in the long term will depend on the results of the cat quarantine in Hung Hom and To Kwa Wan markets.
Huang Zhaojian stated that they firmly opposed the "cat-removal order" and demanded that the market immediately return the ban, calling on the public not to involve innocent animals in the incident. He emphasized that there is no evidence that cats and dogs are a means of spreading the virus.
Huang Zhaojian also wrote to the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, hoping that the department would explain the number of cats sent to quarantine in Hung Hom and To Kwa Wan markets, the number of cats picked up in markets and shops in the past, and ask the department. Which samples of cats will be taken for testing.
