The new crown pneumonia epidemic continued. Hong Kong added 1 new imported case on Sunday (9th). There were no local confirmed cases for two consecutive days, and there were 5 initial confirmed cases.

The imported case was a woman who had arrived in Hong Kong from Argentina. She was infected with a variant virus.

Several cases of variant new crown virus have recently appeared in the community. The government earlier sent residents of relevant residential buildings to a quarantine center on the 21st.

The measures aroused criticism, and the authorities no longer listed the residents concerned as close contacts, and they could leave after testing negative.

Residents of Block R of Allway Gardens and Block N2 of Kornhill, who had earlier cases of variant new crown virus in the building, left the isolation camp yesterday.

[12:53] It is understood that there are fewer than 5 confirmed cases today, and there are no cases of unknown origin. It is the third consecutive day that there have been zero confirmed cases locally. There will be no news conference on the epidemic.

Allway residents were "released from prison" yesterday. District Councillor: There are still several households stranded in Penny's Bay due to administrative misunderstandings

[10:05] Residents in Block R of Allway Gardens were infected with the mutant virus. The residents were sent to the quarantine center earlier. However, the government changed the arrangement and they could leave as long as the test result was negative. The residents were arranged to return yesterday (9th) Home quarantine.



Tsuen Wan District Councillor Zhao Enlai stated in a radio program today (10th) that due to documents or administrative misunderstandings, there are still several households who have to stay in Penny's Bay.

He also pointed out that he had received more than 30 requests for help earlier, saying that the residents had collective diarrhea after eating. However, there was no doctor on site at night when they left the camp and the antidiarrheal medicine had to wait for a long time. Administratively, the incident is very chaotic.”



He pointed out that at that time, the occupancy rate of the Penny's Bay Quarantine Camp was only about half of the occupancy rate.

The new crown vaccine can shorten the quarantine period

[09:36] The government has modified the quarantine arrangements earlier. If there are cases of variant virus in the building, the authorities will first make a "restriction and testing announcement" and arrange testing for all residents in the building, and then on the 3rd, 7th, 12th and 19th days Mandatory detection.

However, the patient's home contacts, or cases living in sub-houses, still maintain the 21-day arrangement for inspection.



Xue Da, a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Microbiology of the University of Hong Kong, stated on a radio program today (10th) that he agreed to the above arrangement and believed that the relevant methods were reasonable.

He explained that if they have not had close contact with the patient, the risk of infection should be low. If they stay home for quarantine and take regular tests, I believe it will not cause a community outbreak.



Regarding the government's announcement that vaccinations and 14 days later can shorten the quarantine period and replace them with encrypted testing, Xue Da believes that this will encourage the public to get injections. He also pointed out that the current rate of vaccination in Hong Kong is relatively slow, so he supports the relevant measures.
