Zeng Qiyin stated on the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millenniums" that it is important to find a confirmed case of the mutant virus this time, but it is always from the first Indian man who was found to be infected with the mutant virus to the establishment of a foreign domestic helper infection. After about two weeks, I think the Department of Health needs to track who the confirmed person has been in contact with during this period, to examine whether there is a chance of spreading to the second and third generations, and to study the source of infection in the chain of transmission. What caused human infection at the source?''
Zeng Qiyin is concerned about whether the mutant virus has extended other transmission chains, and will continue to study whether there are other sources that lead to the emergence of this transmission chain.
