Today, 3 confirmed 4-year-old boy's infection source is unknown, 20 teachers and students of Homantin Hanshi Kindergarten must be quarantined

[16:30] Zhang Zhujun, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Center for Health Protection: 3 more confirmed cases, 2 imported cases, and 1 local case.

The local case is a 4-year-old boy whose source is unknown. He lives in Block 13 of Pak Tin Village in Ho Man Tin and Shek Kip Mei. He studies in Ho Man Tin Hanshi Kindergarten (Long Chief). The last day of school is May 12, with more than 20 teachers and students. To be quarantined, stay in a quarantine hotel, accompanied by parents of kindergarten students.

The school will be closed for 14 days from May 15 to May 29.

The schoolchild had a fever in the evening on the 12th. On the 13th, he saw a private doctor in Tsing Yi. After the diagnosis, he found that the CT value exceeded 30, which was relatively high.

I have been to Ho Man Tin Food Court on the 9th.

The patient’s parents work in restaurants and undergo regular testing. The two restaurants are the Cuiyuan Restaurant on Chung On Street in Tsuen Wan and the 608 Ice Room in Lai Chi Kok. The two restaurants will be disinfected and wait for the parents’ test results. There is no foreign domestic helper.

The two imported cases both arrived in Hong Kong from Indonesia, one did not involve a variant virus, and the other was too small for genetic sequencing.

In addition, an employee of BGI has confirmed the diagnosis earlier. The virus is ranked as the virus strain that was circulating in Wuhan a year ago, not the virus strain currently circulating. It is believed to be a false positive. Once confirmed, it will be eliminated as a confirmed case and the case number will be recycled and reused.

The employee tested positive at another testing center.

Zhang Zhujun pointed out that there were fewer than five initial confirmed cases.

The genetic sequencing of the University of Hong Kong reveals that the employees of the University of China were diagnosed with a Wuhan virus strain one year ago or a false positive

[15:54] A director of a community testing center at BGI was diagnosed earlier and listed as a case of unknown local origin. However, after the virus sample was submitted to the University of Hong Kong for genetic sequencing, it was found that it may not be a true confirmed case.

Pan Liewen, a professor at the School of Public Health of the University of Hong Kong, said that after analyzing the virus’s genes, it was found that the patient had a "Wuhan original virus strain." The virus strain appeared in January last year, but has not been circulating in Hong Kong or overseas for many months. , That the patient may not be infected.

He estimated that because the patient had been exposed to the viral nucleic acid at the work place, contaminated his hands, and then touched the nose, the virus remained in the nasal cavity, so the test was positive.

Another possibility is that the patient’s test sample is contaminated. He explained that a positive control is required for testing. The original virus strain in Wuhan is generally used for comparison to confirm the credibility of the test. Therefore, the Wuhan virus strain may Contamination to other samples.
