[No food in the evening city / compulsory testing / Regent Garden] The fourth wave of new coronary pneumonia in Hong Kong is severe. Today (10th) 112 new confirmed cases, a total of 7,292 cases, and more than 50 preliminary confirmed cases have been temporarily recorded.
The authorities announced today that residents of Unit E in Block 4 and Unit D in Block 18 of Regent Gardens will also undergo mandatory testing.
The increased social distancing measures will take effect today (10th). Restaurants will ban dine-in after 6 pm for two weeks; the ticket penalty for violations of the gathering restriction order and mask order after midnight tonight will be increased to 5,000 yuan.
Government expert consultant and Chair Professor of the Department of Microbiology of the University of Hong Kong, Yuan Guoyong, visited the Regent Gardens in Kowloon Bay this morning. He said that six of them had become "affected areas."
He also believes that the Regent Garden is similar to the spread of the Amoy Gardens during SARS in 2003, because the ground canal and drain level of the building were finally connected to the sewer.
He suggested adding soap when flushing the toilet can reduce infection, and it is best to wear a mask when entering the toilet.
[17:30] When asked whether mandatory testing is actually a deterrent, Zhang Zhujun pointed out that the legislation is intended to be used in places where the number of people cannot be controlled, and called on citizens to take it seriously.
She admitted that it is difficult to know exactly how many people have stayed in places where compulsory testing has been reported, but there are laws that empower the government to take legal enforcement actions.
[17:15] Xu Deyi said that the government has tightened social distancing measures again. Since the start time is not long, it will take time to be effective, but it requires the cooperation of the public. In the next two weeks, we must refrain from reducing gatherings. "We can suppress the epidemic first."
[17:00]
Zhang Zhujun revealed that there is no hard indicator as to whether mandatory testing is required, but for the time being, it may be that four unfamiliar units in the same building, or several units in the same direction, may issue mandatory testing orders.
She also mentioned that from time to time, there are confirmed cases in several units in the same building, but since neighbors or relatives may greet each other, it takes time to conduct epidemiological investigations.
Zhang Zhujun also pointed out that when the epidemic press conference comes out every day, he does not have everyone's information. Sometimes more relevant information is discovered after the press conference, and he has to say "sorry."
[16:50] Residents in Room D, Block 6, Regent Gardens, are now beginning to evacuate.
[16:45] He Wanxia pointed out that as of 9 am today, 114 cases have been reported by the HA system in the past 24 hours, and 2 more patients have died in the past 24 hours, and another 117 patients have recovered and discharged. So far, a total of 5900 patients have been discharged. Discharged.

The last working day was the early morning of December 7th. At that time, three nurses were in the rest room except for their masks and were subject to quarantine. The patient is listed as close contact.
In addition, an employee of the Patient Resource Center of Tuen Mun Hospital also has a preliminary diagnosis. His work does not require contact with patients. Since the eight employees of the center had close contact during work, such as eating together, they were required to be quarantined and tested negative temporarily.
Some activities in the center will be suspended.
Another patient support staff member of the United Hospital needs quarantine as he does not wear protective clothing to clean the room of the confirmed patient.
[16:30] Xu Deyi, Deputy Director of the Food and Health Bureau, Zhang Zhujun, Director of the Infectious Diseases Division of the Center for Health Protection of the Department of Health, and He Wanxia, Chief Administrative Manager (Patient Safety and Risk Management) of the Hospital Authority, attended the press conference on the epidemic to explain the latest situation.
There were 112 new confirmed cases in Hong Kong today, of which 10 were imported cases and the remaining 102 were local cases.
Xu Deyi said that the epidemic has been very severe in the past two weeks. The unknown source of infection accounted for 19%. From December 3 to 9 alone, there were 680 local or local-related cases, and 277 cases were asymptomatic and invisible. The transmission chain has not diminished. If citizens go to a place with an outbreak and have doubts about their health, they should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Zhang Zhujun pointed out that as of midnight today, there were 112 new confirmed cases, of which 102 were local cases and 10 were rotated.

Another student of Tszyunshan Deai Middle School was infected with the virus. The last school day was December 7. At that time, due to attending the exam, the students and teachers around him were wearing masks. The school must be closed. All teachers and students are now undergoing testing.

And at Le Shan Tong Leung Chik Wai Memorial Middle School, a teacher was also infected.
Zhang Zhujun pointed out that one more person at Zhang Jingxuan's concert will be diagnosed and will be shown on November 29th. He is an audience member sitting in District 72. She also urged those who have gone to concerts to pay attention to their health, reiterating that the proportion of confirmed cases is not high, and that "there is scattered" may be because the community has a chain of transmission, so I believe it is not a major outbreak in the concert.
She also pointed out that a newly admitted resident in Hang Tau Fu Hong Nursing Home was diagnosed with the diagnosis. He was not in another home at the time, so for the time being, only bottles will be collected from the whole home.
Zhang Zhujun also pointed out that a resident of Regent Garden also tested positive for the time being and has been arranged to be hospitalized. She also announced that the residents of Block 4 E and Block 18 D of the housing estate will issue an announcement tonight to request testing.

In addition to 6 blocks, the other 4 blocks and 18 blocks have individual cases infected, and this area has become an infected area.
Residents of Block 6 must complete the test within one day and then test again after 14 days.
This time, residents will undergo two tests in one day, one is a rapid antigen test and the other is a nucleic acid test, which will increase the accuracy.
Professor Yuan said that the spread of Regent Garden and Amoy Gardens in 2003 during the SARS period was similar, because the ground canal and drain level of the building were finally connected to the sewage canal.
Yuan suggested that adding liquid soap when flushing the toilet can reduce infection, and it is best to wear a mask when entering the toilet.
Yuan also said that the ban on footing is not bad, but Hong Kong's system cannot support it at all. Therefore, it was decided to move the residents of Block 6 D to the quarantine camp first.
According to sources, residents of Room D will be sent to Penny's Bay for isolation, but it is unknown when they will leave.

She also denounced that the government was still "skirts and pants" in the fourth wave, and missed the best time to introduce mandatory testing, which caused the epidemic to continue to spread.
She believes that the government should not allow people who need mandatory testing to go to the testing center or take samples of the bottle. Because people with the virus may continue to spread the virus in the community, she recommends that the government send staff to take samples for residents or set up mobile testing vehicles for the convenience of residents Can be detected downstairs.
