The government announced today (26th) that it will update the quarantine standards for patients diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia and tighten the discharge arrangements for confirmed cases. Starting tomorrow (27th), patients who are diagnosed must go to the North Lantau Hospital to be quarantined for 14 days after being discharged from the hospital. Temporary hospital, cannot go home directly.
The Food and Health Bureau stated that the policy is to cooperate with Hong Kong's active "clearing" epidemic prevention and control strategy, and to further minimize the risk of confirmed patients who may still carry the virus and spread in the community after early recovery.

The Food and Health Bureau announced on August 6 that the patient’s discharge schedule was updated. One of the conditions for the previous discharge was that the antibody test result was changed from negative to positive. In addition to the positive antibody test, at least one polymerase chain reaction test was required. A Ct value of 33 or above means that the amount of virus must drop to an extremely low level.
The tightening is again this time, and starting from tomorrow, the new standard no longer considers the Ct value.
