A 71-year-old female patient in Pok Oi Hospital was initially diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia. The patient is said to be a member of the Yuen Long Nursing Home.

The reporter went to Fung Cheung Road in Yuen Long in the afternoon to find out. The iron gate of the nursing home was pulled down and no one answered the door.

It is reported that although the nursing home is located on the first floor of Fengxiang Building, the entrance to the residence is separate from the entrance of the nursing home.

A nearby restaurant said that since the outbreak of the epidemic, there have been few elderly people coming in and out, and food was delivered to the homes before the third wave, but they could only be delivered at the reception desk and could not enter the homes.

The new crown pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong has gradually stabilized, but the news indicates that a 71-year-old female patient in Pok Oi Hospital was initially diagnosed with new pneumonia and she is a member of the Yuen Long Nursing Home.

In the third wave of the epidemic, there have been groups in many nursing homes, which is worrying about another outbreak.

The reporter went to Fung Cheung Road in Yuen Long in the afternoon to find out. The iron gate of the nursing home was pulled down and no one answered the door.

However, a staff member looked down the street from the window of the nursing home and filmed the reporters on the scene by phone.

At about 5 o'clock, an ambulance drove to the back door of the Yuen Long Nursing Home, and the ambulance came to the door wearing full protective equipment.

The ambulanceman stated that it was a woman who reported general discomfort.

Five minutes later, a mother-in-law was taken to an ambulance on a stretcher.

The nursing home is located on the first floor of the Fengxiang Building, but a non-intensive service pick-up staff revealed that the elderly usually pick up and go through the underground gate of the nursing home, and have not seen the entrance from the other side of the house.

The restaurants on both sides of the nursing home are open as usual.

Mr. Yang, the head of the Japanese restaurant, was surprised at the initial diagnosis of the nursing home, but he was not worried because the restaurant was disinfected and cleaned every day.

He said that the iron gates of the nursing homes are usually not closed, but there is a notice indicating that visits are not allowed.

He had delivered food to the nursing home before the third wave of the epidemic, but he could only deliver it at the reception desk and could not enter the home.

Ms. Lu, who works in a nearby noodle shop, also said that she is not worried about the initial diagnosis of a nearby nursing home, because the elderly have rarely entered and exited after the epidemic.

Some street interviews also pointed out that before the epidemic, the elderly would be seen coming in and out, and there were also staff pushing wheelchairs for the elderly for walks, but this has been rare recently.

Resident Mrs. Chung and her son passed by the nursing home. They said that they would pass by the relevant location from time to time, but they did not notice that there was a nursing home there.

They emphasized that they usually bring disinfection paper towels and wash their hands frequently, so they believe they will not get infected.
