Last update date: 2020-08-09 22:45The new crown pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong continues. Today (9th) there are 72 new confirmed cases in Hong Kong. Among them, the Kaiye Care and Attention Home of the Senior Citizens Society, in addition to the previous diagnosis by a resident, two more confirmed cases and one preliminary confirmed case . Zhang Zhujun, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Center for Health Protection, said bluntly that if the situation is an outbreak in the whole hospital, all people may have to be evacuated.
The home for the elderly is located on the second floor of Kai Shing Building, Kai Yip Village. The building has three lifts, one of which can reach the home for the elderly on the second floor and is shared with residents. Some residents said that since the outbreak of the epidemic, they only went out once a week to buy food and supplies. They frankly said that they were worried about the outbreak of the epidemic in a home for the elderly in the building; there were also old neighbours who pointed out that the government should distribute sample bottles to make neighbourhoods safe for testing. Reprimanding the government's restrictions makes it useless.

According to residents, the Kai Shing Building, where the nursing home is located, has 14 floors and three lifts. One of them can reach the nursing home on the second floor and the floors where residents live, including the 5th, 11th, and 13th floors. But generally speaking, people who are able to move freely, such as staff in residential care homes and elderly family members, leave via the back stairs. The neighbours also revealed that until recently, there were still delivery men transporting goods to the nursing home via the lift.
Residents will be tested immediately after learning the news
Resident Ms. Lin dragged a shopping cart and was wearing tight protective equipment, including gloves, a mask, and a sun hat. When she saw an ambulance parked outside the building, she shouted "So surprised, so surprised!" She said, After the outbreak, she only went out once a week to buy food and supplies, mainly buying food that can be stored for a long time, such as frozen meat, melons and vegetables, and her two children who are still studying have not gone out after the suspension of classes.
She said frankly that although she lives in the high-rise unit of Kai Shing Building, she is worried that the droplets will drift upwards. Therefore, after learning that a resident in the nursing home was diagnosed a few days ago, she immediately went to the Kowloon Bay Health Center to sample the bottle for testing. Fortunately, the result was negative. Regarding the possible outbreak in the nursing home, she once again chanted "It's so shocking", saying that after returning home, she will immediately disinfect and wash her clothes. "When I go back to the food, I won't cook it. Wash clothes and dry equipment first. cook!"

Lao Kaifang calls on the government to distribute sample bottles to arrange testing
Granny Huang, a resident who lived in Qiye Village for 38 years and did not want to show up, said that she was not worried about being infected after learning the news through reporters. Because the elevators used by the residents would not reach the floors where they lived, she also pointed out that "a few dozen years old died. Just die!"
However, she pointed out that it has been several days since a confirmed case has appeared in residential care homes for the elderly, and she believes that the government should distribute sample bottles to the neighborhood for testing. She also denounced that the government's restriction order is not very useful. Although the neighbourhoods obey the rules to wear masks, there are still smokers in the village who take off their masks and smoke from time to time. "Why the government does not eat cigarettes? Pooh!"
