The K11 Musea restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui shopping mall broke out. A total of 50 people in the group have been infected.
The Department of Health took 48 environmental samples from the restaurant earlier, of which 3 samples tested positive for the new crown virus, including air-conditioning filters in underground diners’ dining areas, as well as the interior of zinc coil pipes in the underground pantry and the handrails of the trolley in the underground pantry.
This is the first time that the virus has been found in the air-conditioning system, but the ventilation system of Ming Chao Restaurant is independent, rather than connected to the central air-conditioning of the shopping mall.
Yuan Guoyong once analyzed two major causes of the outbreak: insufficient fresh air volume, cross-infection of tableware in tea and water rooms
Government expert consultant Yuan Guoyong was invited by the Department of Health to inspect the famous food restaurant on Monday (1st), and analyzed two major possibilities of the outbreak, including insufficient fresh air in the store, which only reached one-third of the license application requirements. Polluted air accumulates in the store and infects diners, resulting in a "short-distance air transmission" outbreak. In addition, dishes and dishes that have been used are placed in the pantry, which may also cause cross-infection of food utensils.
The Department of Health took 48 environmental samples from restaurants earlier, and finally found that 3 samples were positive, including air-conditioning filters in underground diners’ dining areas, as well as the interior of zinc coil pipes in the underground pantry and the handrails of the trolley in the underground pantry. It confirms Yuan Guoyong's assessment.
Mingchao restaurant lease terminated K11 MUSEA plans to reopen on Saturday
A spokesman for the K11 Group said yesterday that the lease of the "Mingchao Restaurant" will be terminated. The spokesperson also emphasized that the ventilation system of the relevant restaurant operates independently and is not connected to other businesses and restaurants.
The ventilation system in the shopping mall is close to the highest level used in hospitals. UV disinfection is installed before the wind is released. The hygiene level is high and it is not affected by the ventilation system set up by individual tenants.
The mall is also preparing for its reopening this Saturday. A second test has been arranged for mall employees, and mall employees must present a negative test certificate before they can go to work.
