The Centre for Health Protection today (16th) announced an imported case from India. The patient has received an injection and is asymptomatic, with the L452R variant virus.
In addition, fewer than 10 cases were initially confirmed today.
In addition, the latest whole-genome sequencing analysis of the three infected Cathay Pacific cargo planes further showed that the three cases were almost identical, indicating that the patients were most likely to be infected during their stay in a German hotel.
As for the 15th floor of the Four Points by Sheraton Hong Kong, Tung Chung, the North Wing involved the Delta+ variant virus (AY.4.2 subfamily) group with the same genetic sequence. On November 12, the center collected a total of 73 in the relevant room and the shared space on the floor. Environmental samples, of which 13 samples tested positive, five of them were collected in Room 1515 (No. 12374) and eight were collected in Room 1517 (No. 12382).
There were 6 new imported cases in Hong Kong yesterday (15th). 5 people were involved in the infection of the mutant virus strain, and the test result of the mutant virus strain of the other person is yet to be determined.
Three Cathay Pacific cargo pilots were diagnosed after arriving in Hong Kong from Germany. The Center for Health Protection said that epidemiological investigations showed that three people were infected at the Hyatt Regency Mainz Hotel in Germany. The hotel does not rule out an outbreak group. Therefore, it will require all of them to be released on November 1. In the future, Cathay Pacific crew members who have stayed at the hotel and all other people who have returned to Hong Kong who have stayed in the same hotel will be subject to compulsory quarantine.
The New Crown Vaccine Advisory Expert Committee met yesterday and it is understood that Kexing has passed the lowering of the vaccination age threshold to 3 to 17 years old.

New crown pneumonia|Experts suggest that crew members work for two months and quarantine on the 14th before taking a long holiday to reduce risks
[13:17] Within a week, three consecutive pilots of Cathay Pacific Airways arrived in Hong Kong from Frankfurt, Germany, and were diagnosed at home during the exemption from quarantine. Cathay Pacific further tightened relevant guidelines. For the first three days after returning to Hong Kong, the crew can only leave home two times a day. Hours, let them buy necessities, exercise, etc.
However, some experts believe that once the crew members return to Hong Kong, once they enter the community and return home, it is already possible to bring the virus into the community, and going out for a "limited time" will not stop the spread of the community.
In addition, there are reports that the government is considering requiring crew members to be quarantined at home for 14 days, but experts pointed out that home quarantine is not safe and may always spread the virus to their family members. "Isolation in a house is not as good as isolation in a hotel for 14 days." The crew members work for two months at a time, then arrange hotel quarantine for 14 days, and then take a one-month holiday to reduce the risk of virus spread, and advocate the government to provide special support to airlines.
New crown pneumonia | Cathay Pacific tightens quarantine guidelines
[11:41] The Director of the Infection and Infectious Diseases Center of the University of Hong Kong, He Boliang, stated on a radio program today (16th) that the crew members are exempted from quarantine after returning to Hong Kong, which is a "time bomb" for epidemic prevention. The biggest obstacle to the relationship between mainland China."
He criticized Cathay Pacific’s new measures as "unlogical and extremely strange arrangements," and believed that home isolation is not an effective measure. Once diagnosed, it may infect family members living with it.
New Crown Vaccine | The age of Da Kexing dropped to 3 years old Liu Yulong: safe and effective can be implemented in stages
[09:11] The New Crown Vaccine Advisory Expert Committee approved on Monday (15th) that the age for inoculation of Kexing vaccine was reduced from 18 years old to 3 years old.
Committee member Liu Yulong said on the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millenniums" this morning (16th) that there are sufficient data to show that the Kexing vaccine for middle school students is safe and effective. About 50 million middle school students in the Mainland have been vaccinated, but no safety has been seen. Risk, basically no cases of myocarditis.
He also believes that Kexing should be vaccinated for groups under the age of 18 in three stages. The vaccinations of middle school students should be arranged first. At the beginning of next year, there will be more primary school students in the Mainland who have been vaccinated, and there will be more data for reference.
