He said that he had a rash all over his body after two injections and he needed to be hospitalized.

In response to enquiries this month, the Department of Health stated that after receiving reports of abnormal vaccination incidents reported by medical staff, it has contacted the reported medical staff for further information. "The case will be handed over to an expert committee for causality assessment."

In other words, five months after the incident, the Department has not yet transferred the case to the committee for evaluation.

After the reporter inquired about the reason again, the department stated that it would notify the Hospital Authority of the assessment results of the expert committee within this month.

Four days after receiving the second shot of Kexing vaccine, Mr. Li developed a rash that spread to his feet.

Omicron|Government cancels exemption for passenger aircraft crew from quarantine

[04:18] The Omicron, a variant strain of the new crown virus, is out of control globally. Two flight attendants of Cathay Pacific violated the exemption guidelines, resulting in a sharp increase in the risk of outbreaks in Hong Kong’s communities. It is reported that the authorities have resorted to severe calls to Hong Kong airlines to revoke all non-Chinese airlines. The crew members of the airliner are exempted from quarantine measures, and the crew members must be forced to quarantine the hotel for up to 14 days upon returning to Hong Kong.

Cathay Pacific bears the brunt of the situation. The crew members of the existing "passenger plane going, cargo plane returning" and short-term return flights cannot go home for quarantine and surveillance when they get off the plane.

The new arrangement will take effect late at night on Wednesday (29th). In disguise, all non-China flights of Cathay Pacific need to be operated in a closed-loop manner, disrupting the deployment. As there are not enough hotel rooms for crew quarantine, all planned flights will not be able to operate as scheduled. Cathay Pacific said it will contact affected customers to switch flights or refund them in full.
