The new crown pneumonia epidemic continued, and the K11 Musea "Famous Tide Restaurant" in Tsim Sha Tsui broke out. There were a total of 11 confirmed and preliminary confirmed cases.
Respiratory system specialist Liang Zichao said today (26th) that it is estimated that some employees of the restaurant are invisible patients, or some regular customers have been to the restaurant on the 18th and 19th, resulting in two consecutive days of transmission.
He believes that the current government only requires customers who have visited the restaurant after February 18 to undergo compulsory testing. However, it cannot be ruled out that it has been spread in the restaurant before the 18th, reminding guests who have visited the restaurant on the 16th and 17th. Be careful.
Liang Zichao later added to "Hong Kong 01" that if diners have symptoms, they must be tested. If they have no symptoms but have visited the restaurant, they should also be tested.

Liang Zichao said on the commercial TV program "Starting on a Sunny Day" that one confirmed patient had visited a famous restaurant on the 18th, and another 7 confirmed patients visited on the 19th. It is estimated that the patients who visited on the 18th will The chance of spreading the virus to those who visit the restaurant the next day is slim.
He explained that because of the virus-carrying mist, there is less chance of staying in the air for 24 hours, and it is also more difficult to cause such a large-scale transmission.
Leung estimated that the outbreak of the epidemic at Ming Chao restaurant was caused by employees or regular customers, and the person who spread the virus may not necessarily be a person who has been confirmed to have the disease, or someone who has become ill and spread at an earlier time but has not been detected.
Liang suggested that the Center for Health Protection also test the antibody of the restaurant staff to determine if there are other invisible patients.
Liang Zichao believes that if diners have symptoms, they must be tested. If they are asymptomatic but have visited the restaurant on the 16th and 17th, they should also be tested.

Liang Zichao: The diners who have been to famous restaurants on the 16th and 17th should also pay attention
Liang Zichao also said that since the source of the transmission has not been determined, the current government only uses peace of mind to notify people who are present at the same time, losing meaning.
At present, the government only requires customers who have been to the restaurant after February 18 to undergo compulsory testing. However, Liang believes that since it cannot be ruled out that the virus has spread in the restaurant before February 18, the source of infection may have been before the 18th. At the restaurant, Liang reminded guests who had been to the restaurant on the 16th and 17th to also be careful.
He later added that asymptomatic diners must be tested. As for diners without symptoms, since it is currently uncertain whether there are infected employees, they have been infected before the 18th. It is recommended that these diners should be tested.
He believes that the public should avoid going to crowded places as much as possible, and restaurant staff should also be aware that in addition to regular 14-day testing, they should also be tested as soon as possible when they have symptoms or their family members have symptoms.

If all vaccines are not available within 3 to 6 months, it is difficult to produce an immune barrier
On the other hand, regarding the delayed arrival of the BioNTech vaccine in Hong Kong, he believes that it may only be an administrative problem that has not been resolved. The public does not need to worry too much. However, the government currently only requires the manufacturers of two vaccines to send 1 million doses of vaccine to Hong Kong. It is believed that the government should expedite the request of pharmaceutical factories to supply the remaining 6.5 million doses, because if all vaccines can be obtained within 3 to 6 months and the public can be vaccinated, an immune barrier will be created in a short time, which will help Hong Kong to resume normal life. "Because 1 million is not enough for group coverage, it is not meaningful group protection."
If the current two pharmaceutical factories cannot supply the remaining vaccines in a short time, Leung believes that the Hong Kong government should consider purchasing another vaccine that can be supplied in large quantities in a short time.
As for the question of whether the protection of the vaccine is only half a year, he believes that if the antibody does not decline after the injection, the protection may have one year, but since all vaccine studies are only a few months, there is no data to prove the protection of the vaccine.
