The new crown pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong has been repeated. Yesterday (23), the Center for Health Protection of the Department of Health announced that a 39-year-old female domestic helper was diagnosed as a case of unknown local origin; another Filipino female domestic worker was initially diagnosed with a variant virus strain. .

Respiratory specialist Liang Zichao estimated today (24th) that the two foreign domestic helpers are both cases of rejuvenation, because both of them have also been tested for antibodies or have been infected before coming to Hong Kong.

Regarding the initial diagnosis of the Filipino domestic helper with a variant virus strain, Liang Zichao pointed out that because she only carried the N501Y variant virus strain, it is estimated that it has nothing to do with the Indian male group that entered the community earlier.

Liang Zichao pointed out on the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millenniums" today that the 39-year-old Indian domestic helper who was confirmed to have come to Hong Kong has undergone multiple tests and only recently tested positive and also tested positive for antibodies. It is estimated that the antibodies have appeared for more than a few weeks. The infection takes a long time", it is expected to be a case of rejuvenation.

He believes that although it has been a long time since the arrival of Indian domestic helpers in Hong Kong, it is still possible that they have been infected in the future.

It was initially confirmed that the Filipino domestic helper had traveled to Pakistan with his former employer's family in early February and did not return to Hong Kong until April.

Liang believes that because she had stayed in a more severely affected area for some time and was tested for antibodies, or she had been infected when she was in Pakistan.

He estimated that if the foreign domestic helper became ill for more than 7 days after being infected in Pakistan, the upper respiratory tract has not been tested for the virus, so he passed the quarantine and testing, "but there will be a chance of recovery in three months."

Liang Zichao also pointed out that after being discharged from the hospital, the confirmed patients in Hong Kong "will have one or two rejuvenation."

He emphasized that Hong Kong has not stopped people from high-risk areas from coming to Hong Kong earlier, and a large number of people entering Hong Kong "naturally will leak opportunities."

As for the Filipino domestic helper's detection of a variant virus strain, Liang said that because she only carried the N501Y variant virus strain, which was different from the earlier Indian male group with the N501Y and E484K variant virus strains, it is believed that the two have nothing to do.

The 39-year-old Indian domestic helper was diagnosed and his employer was in Block B of Po Ning Building.
