The new crown pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong has rebounded, and the government has extended the designated area of ​​mandatory testing to Sham Shui Po. Deputy Director of the Food and Health Bureau Xu Deyi explained that the area is full of old buildings, lack of management, and poor sanitation. Therefore, it is included in the mandatory inspection. Hong Kong 01 reporter patrolled the area In the designated area, three major drug-spreading crises were discovered, including the indiscriminate sewer pipes, the excessive proximity of rooftop households and the exhaust outlets of the sewer pipes, and the vendors selling without hoods in the market. The police officers did not intervene during the passage, increasing the outbreak risk.

According to the "Statistics of Population and Households by District Council District in 2019", Sham Shui Po District ranks third in population density among the 18 districts, with 45,230 people living per square kilometer, many of whom live more than five years old. There are three no buildings (that is, no groups, no closed-circuit televisions, no gates) for more than ten to sixty years. There are many units in the building, or there are unauthorized rooftops, and the extended ducts even have to be additionally connected to other places.

Sewage drains directly connected to pits and back lanes with splash

A reporter from Hong Kong 01 visited Beihe Street, Danan Street, Ruzhou Street, Keelung Street and other streets today (20th) and found that the place with the worst sanitary environment was located in the cross lane between the building and the building. Take a T-shaped lane in the middle of the lane as an example. Some buildings connect the sewers directly to the pits in the lane for discharge. Among them, the pipe flaps fly off, so that every time a large amount of toilet water is washed down, fecal water and used paper towels, etc. The filth flew out. Even if someone used a canvas and rope to cover the mouth, feces and other dirt remained on the surface of the pit. The scene was shocking. A nearby restaurant provided free meals to the elderly and grassroots in the evening. Every evening A large number of elderly people gathered in the alley to wait in line, and some took off their masks to eat lunch boxes or smoke in the alley. If someone in the building was attacked, the fecal water splashed with the virus, causing a collective infection at any time.

The exhaust port of the sewage pipe is close to the window if there is an epidemic or a turbulent effect

Another drug-spreading crisis is related to the sewage pipe exhaust.

Residents sitting on the upper floor and downstairs of the Hengtai Building in Tai Po were infected with the virus last year. Investigations by the Department of Health and experts revealed that the virus could rush to the roof through the air hose, spray through the exhaust port and spray out the virus. Roll to each unit.

The reporter found that one of the rooftops of a building on Nanchang Street is less than five meters away from the exhaust outlet of the sewage pipe, and it is also less than ten meters away from the windows of the opposite building. There are pots and woks and other kitchen utensils outside the windows. If it is hidden The patient sprayed the virus through the vent through the fecal water, which may cause a turbulent effect, which will attract many residents.

The exhaust outlet of the sewage pipe is lined up with the windows of rooftop households and units on the opposite building (shown in red circles), which may cause turbulence to spread poison.

The uniformed police ignored the vendors and sold without hoods

In addition, Beihe Street is one of the busiest markets in the district. There are vendors selling fruits and some vendors selling second-hand items on the street. During the inspection, reporters discovered that there were South Asian vendors or Ye Leng vendors selling or No masks were worn at all when the goods were delivered, and there was no awareness of epidemic prevention. Some local vegetable vendors took off the masks directly and attracted the neighbors to patronize. At least three people in a stall took off the masks at the same time to sell, and there was a military uniform responsible for implementing the epidemic prevention regulations. The police officers passed by, completely ignoring the lax prevention of the epidemic by the vendors, and "struggling with them."

Sham Shui Po District Councillor Ho Kai-ming said that the government requires mandatory testing within a designated area. As long as the building is recruited within 14 days, all residents of the building will be subject to mandatory testing. However, only six buildings in the area are on the list and even infected. The residential building is just outside the scope. He suggested that the authorities should concentrate their manpower and resources on the drainage management of the three-no building and the market epidemic prevention problem. Only the right remedy can be given. Otherwise, the relevant measures will only be random injection of medicines and stones, which will not achieve the effect of epidemic prevention. .
