A part-time cleaner of the designated quarantine hotel "Yau Ma Tei Bridal Tea House Hotel" was initially diagnosed yesterday. This 41-year-old female patient was tested with the L452R mutant virus strain.

However, the Center for Health Protection of the Department of Health later announced that the woman's virus test and antibody test were negative after admission. As it was not certain why this happened and the variant virus was involved, Professor Yuan Guoyong, a government expert consultant, went to the hotel today Inspect.

Ou Jiarong, chief physician of the Center for Health Protection of the Department of Health, said that the 41-year-old cleaner was suspected of being related to an imported case from Indonesia.

The case imported from Indonesia stayed in room 503 of the hotel on June 27. Professor Yuan Guoyong later stated that an external cleaning company specifically disinfects such rooms, but the disinfection time is less than 10 minutes, and the disinfection process usually takes at least 15 minutes. Minutes to half an hour, so the process has not been completed yet, and the situation is extremely unsatisfactory.

Ou Jiarong added that the outsourced cleaning company was named Ligao.



The 41-year-old confirmed cleaner two days later (that is, when he entered the room to clean and clean, during which he was suspected of raising and inhaling virus particles with undamaged nucleic acid. However, it has not been possible to tell whether these viruses are infectious. Yuan said: ) It may be dead, or it may be undead, we don’t know.” Because it is unknown whether the patient is in the incubation period, the patient still needs to be hospitalized for observation.

Professor Yuan Guoyong made two suggestions after the inspection:

1. Quarantine hotel cleaners are a high-risk group and must be vaccinated;

2. The outsourced cleaning company must follow the guidelines of the Center for Health Protection and thoroughly disinfect with 1:49 detergent to completely kill the virus;
