Variant viruses have repeatedly attacked communities, and a total of 10 cases have threatened the community.

The Centre for Health Protection discovered that the first community case had had a meal with a friend, and the group of friends had a gathering with foreign domestic helpers who had recently been diagnosed with Yingwan Garden, Quarry Bay Kornhill and Pokfulam.

The two friends who attended the party were employees of Urban Bakery Works, a bakery in the Landmark Central and Oliver's the Delicatessen.

Some people who visited the Landmark were worried, and others criticized the government for improper epidemic prevention. Now they are numb to the news of the mutant virus.

There are a total of 10 cases of community variant virus in Hong Kong. The first case was diagnosed on April 17 by a 29-year-old Indian man (No. 11643). The Centre for Health Protection only revealed yesterday that he was diagnosed on April 13. A party was held with his 31-year-old girlfriend (No. 11672) at Fung Hing Building, Hing Wah (2) Village, Chai Wan, his relatives and friends. The other three people in the party held a meeting at Unit 37 Fuk Wing Street, Sham Shui Po on April 18th. Diagnosed living in Tung Chung Caribbean Coast (No. 11773), Quarry Bay Kornhill (No. 11793) and Pok Fu Lam (No. 11797) gatherings.

The two people at the party worked at the bakery Urban Bakery Works on the third floor of the Central Landmark Plaza, and Oliver's the Delicatessen, the supermarket on the second floor of the Central Landmark Prince Edward. The Center for Protection has issued a compulsory inspection notice and they have been there between April 15 and May 5. Those who have been to the relevant shops must be tested on or before tomorrow (7th).

"Hong Kong 01" visited two shops, and the person in charge of Urban Bakery Works said, "Actually, you all know it, I might as well just go directly to check the information of the Department of Health or contact our company. Because you ask me, you all think about it. I don’t know how to get the information.” The manager of the supermarket Oliver's the Delicatessen also said that there is no supplement.

Ms. Han, a retired elder who ate at The Landmark, was not aware of the fact that the restaurant in the plaza had employees and patients with the mutant virus. She felt worried. If she learned in advance that she would switch to another place to eat, she said, "But there’s no way to eat, I’m worried. I’m worried about it.” She is concerned that there are multiple cases of variant viruses in the community, which buried the fifth wave of outbreak crisis, but she was deterred by the news of the side effects of the new crown vaccine. So far, she has been on the sidelines and has not been vaccinated.

Mr. Li, who has been injected with two doses of Kexing vaccine, criticized the government for improper epidemic prevention, "Macau is a special zone, and Hong Kong is a special zone. Why should Macau be cleared, can Hong Kong do it?" He was numb to the news of the mutant virus. There are all over the districts around Yiwa, that is, it is like seeing a bus and the police, there are all around."

Student Li said that the outbreak of the fifth wave of the epidemic was an important factor in his consideration of injections.

Student Li, a fresh DSE candidate under the age of 18, went to the "check-in booth" of the Landmark to take pictures. She said that she always wears a mask in the mall and washes her hands frequently. She is not worried that visiting will increase the risk of infection.

Student Li takes a wait-and-see attitude towards getting the new crown vaccine, but once the fifth wave of the epidemic breaks out, he will get an injection. "Injection is a way to deal with the epidemic, so I think it’s better to fight it soon. In fact, I think it will be done sooner or later. I’m screaming, but I’m going to see it first."

The government set up a mobile inspection vehicle at Edinburgh Plaza in Central. The crowds came to take samples at noon. Some citizens expected the queue time to be about 1.5 hours.

All foreign domestic helpers in Hong Kong were required by the government to be tested for the virus before May 9. The government set up a mobile testing station in Edinburgh Plaza in Central. There was a long queue at noon today. Ms. Wu brought the foreign domestic helper to the scene before going to work and pointed out the foreign domestic helper. There are fewer going outs and gatherings, and the main thing to go out is to the market. The authorities require all foreign domestic helpers to test unreasonably and provide few sample bottles.

She opposes that the government requires foreign domestic helpers to give injections compulsorily, which should be decided according to everyone's wishes.

She believed that the risk of infection was low and she was willing to cooperate with the government testing arrangements. Her company allowed her to be tested during working hours. Wait for 1.5 hours to sample.
