There were 50 confirmed cases in the Ming Chao restaurant group. Yuan Guoyong, Chair Professor of the Department of Microbiology at the University of Hong Kong, said that after inspections by the Buildings Department and the Centre for Health Protection, they found that there was no problem with the fresh air volume in the entire mall and it was safe.

He also said that the Center for Health Protection found that there were many cigarette butts in the outlet leading to the street from the famous restaurant.

As for other shops in the mall, such as Cartier and Twinkie Cookies, there are people infected. He initially estimated that it might be because they had smoked in the back alleys of the outlet of the famous restaurant.

Another possibility of infection is that employees of different stores have gone to the same place to throw garbage.

Yuan Guoyong said that the virus strains of different cases in the group are almost the same, which clearly shows that it is a super-spreading group and hopes that other restaurants can learn from it.

The consistent source of the K11MUSEA group virus strain is an invisible patient or a vent smoking infection

The infected person in the shopping mall used to smoke at the outlet of the restaurant. The reporter went to the outside of the shopping mall to inspect at about 6:30 in the evening. Although there were signs on the platform near the sea, there were still four employees in the corner of the platform. Smoking and chatting, cigarette butts were also left at the scene.
