An outbreak of new coronary pneumonia infection at URSUS Fitness in Sai Ying Pun Fitness Center has caused a total of more than 50 people infected with the disease, spreading to many international schools. Among them, Pokfulam Kaili School was gazetted as a compulsory quarantine list.

Reuters disclosed that a class of 8 and 9-year-old pupils in this school was required by the Health Protection Center to be sent to isolation for 14 days, during which a parent was allowed to accompany them.

The principal Ben Dixon circulated an e-mail explaining to the parents that he had requested the authorities not to do so, but the other party insisted.

"Bloomberg" reported that it was a teacher who was diagnosed, and about 20 students in the class involved were 8 to 9 years old.

A notice was published on the Kellet School website yesterday (March 12) stating that the school was closed today and all students switched to online learning.

And yesterday evening there was an e-mail signed by Ben Dixon, the principal of the Pokfulam branch of the school, to parents, "We have just received a notification from the Center for Health Protection (CHP) that all children of 4NJA need to be quarantined. A parent was allowed to accompany, CHP I will contact you alone in the afternoon.” The email stated that he had asked the authorities not to do this, but the other party insisted.

It is not the first time that underage students are required to be sent for quarantine. Two sixth form students in Shau Kei Wan Government High School were infected with the disease last month. About 130 form six students in the school were required to be sent to the quarantine center for quarantine and spent the Lunar New Year in the quarantine center.

Many well-known international schools closed for quarantine

The outbreak of the new crown pneumonia infection group at URSUS Fitness in Xiyingpan Fitness Center has once again entered the upper-class family. The Internet spread to at least six international schools. According to the press conference of the Center for Health Protection on the 11th, an employee of the French International School in Tseung Kwan O was diagnosed. Classes need to be suspended. In addition to employees, students and visitors must also undergo mandatory testing.

The 9-year-old elementary school student in Qili was forcibly sent to quarantine on the 14th one day later, which is obviously an escalation of measures.

In addition to Kaili, the three branches of the English Schools Association West Island School, Harrow Hong Kong International School, and The Harbour School in Pokfulam will be closed. The Carmel School of the Hong Kong Jewish International School will be closed due to the presence of the URSUS Fitness group. Close contacts of the group need to suspend face-to-face teaching, close school buildings for cleaning and disinfection, and even take quarantine measures for teachers and students themselves.
