The Kwai Chung Container Terminal Group continues to expand the sample bottle recovery rate to just over 40%
The Kwai Chung container terminal group continued to expand, and another security guard confirmed the diagnosis today (19th). Case number is #4570. He used to work in the kiosk at the exit gate of Pier 2 and used the lounge at Pier 5. Zhang Zhujun pointed out earlier that about 8,000 sample bottles will be distributed throughout the terminal, but as of this morning, only about 3,400 samples have been recovered and tested, that is, the recovery rate is only over 40%.
Zhang Zhujun believes that the hoisting of Typhoon Signal No. 8 in Hong Kong this morning will affect the progress of sample bottle collection, but the Transport and Housing Bureau has repeatedly urged operators to distribute bottles as soon as possible. Asked if there will be a big outbreak at the terminal? She responded that she didn't have to say whether she was worried, but testing as soon as possible can understand the infection situation of the terminal as soon as possible, so she again urged the operator to send bottles as soon as possible, hoping to learn about the infection situation of the terminal as soon as possible.
