Xu Deyi: Maintain the first round of inspection deadlines for restaurant staff unchanged
When Xu Deyi attended the news conference on the epidemic, he was asked if a restaurant employee was diagnosed. Will he again be required to complete a test before starting work?
He emphasized that requiring employees to be tested is a preventive measure. Therefore, the arrangement for the inspection period for restaurant employees to be maintained until the 24th of this month, "can be processed for a period of time, and there is no need to rush."
To meet demand, the authorities have opened 22 additional temporary mobile testing stations, and will add another 4 temporary mobile testing stations tomorrow; the number of deep-throat saliva sample bottles has also increased to 50,000.
Xu Deyi also reiterated that "local premises should take a closer look to reduce the risk of cross-infection and call on the industry to comply with the (new government) requirements."
Yumingxuan Zhike only initially diagnosed the restaurant saying it will be open tomorrow
At Yumingxuan on the 1st floor of Jindian Building, No. 22-52 Electric Road, Tin Hau, an informed visitor with no symptoms and unknown source of infection was initially diagnosed.
The reporter visited the restaurant late in the evening and did not see any notice to inform the diners. There was no staff at the underground reception to check whether the diners had their temperature taken. The take-out service was still available after 6 p.m. and there were sporadic citizens patronizing it. It will be open tomorrow as usual.
A minister who declined to give his surname said that in response to the resumption of dine-in evening meals tomorrow, the staff had gone to the testing center for virus testing this morning.
He said that the confirmed employees wore masks at work and also ate alone, so they were not too worried. He also said that he did not know his last work date or whether the company would conduct major disinfection.
However, according to the guidelines of the Department of Health, if an employee of a restaurant is diagnosed, it must suspend business for 14 days.
