The 44-year-old cabin attendant of Cathay Pacific went out to eat with his family at the restaurant "Wangyuelou" in Festival Walk. A family member on the same stage and a construction worker on the same stage and a different stage also had a preliminary diagnosis.
Xu Shuchang, a government expert consultant and chair professor of the Department of Respiratory System at CUHK, said today (31st) that the situation is worrying. He revealed that the workers at the site and the infected Cathay Pacific Air Force are not next to each other, but are separated by a certain distance, "a few stations away." .
He pointed out that the two appeared at the same time, so the chance of infection was high.
He also said that although the construction site is related to the imported case, because it happened locally, it is a local transmission, and the local clearing has definitely "broken the cable."

Xu Shuchang stated in "Departing on a Sunny Day" in Commercial Taiwan today that there must be local transmission in Mochizuki Tower. Because the site workers and the infected Cathay Pacific Airways are not adjacent to the table, but there is a certain distance, "a few stations apart." Observe carefully whether other diners will be infected in the future.
He also believes that the chance of two people being infected at the same place is very high, and of course it depends on the result of genetic sequencing.
Xu urged the public to be tested as soon as possible if they receive a notification from the "Travel with peace of mind" app. The authorities also need to trace two levels of contacts as soon as possible.
The initial diagnosis of site workers was found due to compulsory testing, so the current mechanism is believed to be effective.
He also emphasized that since the virus has an incubation period, be careful in the next 14 days.

In addition, he said that what is even more worrying is that the staff of the organic team went to the Central Bar on the third day after returning to Hong Kong, and then initially positive.
Xu Shuchang said that he has not yet grasped the chain of transmission of the virus, and appealed to the public to avoid gatherings and large gatherings.
Regarding the multiple New Year's Eve concerts held tonight, he believes that the outdoor environment is relatively safe, but the public should not remove low masks and should also maintain hand hygiene.
He also said that if there is another case in the future, it depends on whether it is related to the two crew members. "If there are cases in the community at different locations, you really have to be careful about the fifth wave of outbreaks. The second and third generations (spreading) Okay."
