The new crown pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong has continued to slow down. Today (17th), a new case was confirmed. The patient was a 25-year-old maid who arrived in Hong Kong from Indonesia. It was the second consecutive day that there was no local case of unknown origin.

The last time a sourceless case occurred in Hong Kong was last Saturday (15th) when a 4-year-old boy studying in Homantin Hanshi Kindergarten (Long) was diagnosed.

However, his samples and antibody tests after admission were negative, raising the suspicion of false positives.

Professor Yuan Guoyong now suggests that he should continue to track him as a positive case for the time being, and I believe Hong Kong has a chance to clear it.

The Hong Kong government announced on Monday (17th) that the tourism bubble with Singapore has been officially postponed, and the latest arrangements will be announced no later than June 13th.

After the first case of the mutant virus was detected in the community on April 16, 2021, residents in many districts have been affected.

[19:40] The Department of Health announced that in the past 24 hours as of 4 pm today, a death case has been reported by the Hospital Authority, which is suspected to involve a serious abnormal event that occurred within 14 days after the new crown vaccination.

The incident involved a 50-year-old man who was sent to the Accident and Emergency Department of North Lantau Hospital yesterday. He was transferred to Princess Margaret Hospital and died.

He received the second dose of Coxing vaccine on May 3, 13 days before his death.

According to the report, it was initially diagnosed that the cause of death was brainstem hemorrhage, and the preliminary clinical evaluation did not consider it related to vaccination.

The HA has reported the case to the Coroner.

There is currently no clinical evidence that the incident was caused by the vaccine.

According to the established mechanism, the Department of Health will refer the case to an expert committee for causality assessment.

[19:25] The government announced in the evening that in view of the continued instability of the epidemic in many overseas regions, coupled with the widespread spread and outbreak of variant virus strains with higher infectivity and possible more serious conditions, the development of the epidemic in relevant regions and the response have been closely monitored. After the import risks that may be posed by Hong Kong, the government will designate Argentina, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Malaysia, the Netherlands and Singapore as high-risk Group B designated areas, which will take effect on Friday (21st).

[16:00] The government announced that the Singapore Airlines travel bubble, which was originally scheduled to set off on May 26, has decided to postpone the first flight in response to the local epidemic in Singapore.

There is no local sourceless diagnosis for two consecutive days, only one case of imported Singapore tourism bubble is officially postponed

A government spokesman said that the two governments will continue to closely monitor the development of the epidemic on both sides. As Singapore has introduced more stringent anti-epidemic measures, these measures will take effect from May 16 until June 13.

Both parties will announce when they will set sail on or before June 13.

Passengers who have booked exclusive flights for the above time periods should contact the airline and adjust the itinerary according to their own circumstances.

For the specific arrangements of "Air Travel Bubbles", please refer to the dedicated website: www.tourism.gov.hk/travelbubble.

Yuan Guoyong, a male employee of BGI Gene, has a false positive: the lounge is contaminated and inhales non-infectious DNA

[12:51] BGI staff detected the Wuhan virus strain. Yuan Guoyong met with the media after inspecting the BGI genetic laboratory.

Refers to a 29-year-old male employee of BGI who was tested positive for the new crown pneumonia virus earlier. The DNA of the virus was detected instead of RNA, so it was not contagious, and the cause has not been found yet.

It is suggested that BGI genes should turn on the ultraviolet light to destroy the DNA in the air after the experimental staff are off work.

In addition, Professor Yuan pointed out that the 4-year-old boy who was infected earlier was not a false positive.

Yuan Guoyong also pointed out that the current situation in Hong Kong has a chance to be cleared, but he is worried that the public will not be vaccinated because of this. He called for injections as soon as possible. Citizens choose.

Singaporean authorities said that there is a great chance that the tourism bubble will not be launched as scheduled. Tourism Councillor Yao Sirong stated in the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millennium" today (17) that the epidemic in Singapore has clearly rebounded and is not under control. There is a big gap between the epidemic, and the low number of tourism bubbles launched as scheduled can be described as "setting the number of losses." Although I feel disappointed, the most important thing is safety.

He said that he hopes that Hong Kong will clear the zeros as soon as possible and clear customs with Macau. When data is available, he will discuss customs clearance with the Mainland, emphasizing that only customs clearance can assist the tourism industry.

[09:49] There was a new case of unknown origin in Hong Kong earlier. The patient was a 4-year-old boy.

Taiwan Epidemic Deterioration Sharply Liang Zichao: People who have been injected from Taiwan should also be quarantined for 21 days

[09:08] The government announced that starting today (17th) the quarantine and testing requirements for people arriving in Hong Kong from Taiwan will be further tightened. All Hong Kong residents who have stayed in Taiwan on the day of boarding or 14 days before must have a negative test certificate. Those who have not completed the vaccination must be quarantined at the designated quarantine hotel for 21 days, and those who have completed the vaccination must be quarantined at the designated hotel for 14 days. Non-Hong Kong residents from Taiwan will not be allowed to enter.



Respiratory specialist Liang Zichao said on the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millenniums" that the outbreak in Taiwan has caused local cases to rise rapidly. In addition, Taiwan’s previous epidemic control has been well controlled, and the public’s awareness of epidemic prevention is relatively low, and herd immunity is also high. Not high, I think it is necessary to pay attention to it, and agree that the 21-day quarantine should be imposed on people arriving from Taiwan regardless of whether they have been vaccinated.
