Last update date: 2020-08-08 19:35The new crown pneumonia epidemic continued. The Department of Health announced yesterday (7th) that a confirmed transfer of Indian domestic helper (case number 3664) had lived in two foreign domestic helper intermediary houses in mid-July and early this month. From January to 29 and from August 1 to 3, he once lived in Xiyun Building, Leighton Road, Causeway Bay.
The reporter of "Hong Kong 01" inspected the above-mentioned building again today (8th) and found that there were foreigners coming and going on site from time to time. The watchman of the building frankly admitted that because the consulate is near the building, many foreign domestic helpers do live, and the confirmed foreign domestic helpers are temporarily unknown. If you really live in a unit, you can't worry too much when you patrol all floors of the unit, and face it with a "normal heart." Some foreign domestic helpers living on the lower floors said that they would rather go on the stairs instead of taking the elevator, "it is so alarming to spread through the air." There is currently no evidence that the virus can be spread through the air.
Some foreign domestic helpers living on the lower floors said that newly hired foreign domestic helpers and working foreign domestic helpers live on the scene. Most Indonesians live on the ground floor and first floor, while the second floor is occupied by Filipino foreign domestic helpers. She has been working in Hong Kong for eight years and is now waiting for the signing of the new contract before she can leave the building. She has been living in Xiyun Building for a week. After learning that a foreign domestic helper was diagnosed, she was also very worried. I wash my hands frequently and take a shower twice a day to prevent the epidemic. “I’m really surprised. The elevators in the building are small in size. I prefer to walk up the stairs to be alarmed for airborne transmission.” She thinks the building’s hygiene is not good and hopes to leave as soon as possible. .
Some people in the unit where the foreign domestic helper lives have left and returned to the employer's house to live temporarily. There are currently six people living in the unit. She said that some units do have a large number of people and some units are in general sanitation. The reporter saw at the scene that the trash can on the first floor of the stairs was placed in the middle of the fire door. There were also a lot of sundries and dead bodies on the first floor. The sanitation was normal.
In the 12-storey building, there are about 14 units on each floor. The upper floors are occupied by ordinary residents, and the lower floors are occupied by many foreign domestic workers. There is also a burst of South Asian spices in the corridors of the building. In addition, the building management company also posted a notice stating that it has been informed that someone has been diagnosed in the building and will carry out a major cleaning of the building today.
