There was an outbreak in the restaurant Mochizuki Tower in Festival Walk, and the adjacent restaurant Niao Shi is currently closed. According to information, the two restaurants are operated by a group and share shops in Festival Walk.
After inspecting and consulting the relevant floor plan, the two restaurants are interconnected, and the inside can lead to the same bathroom. The kitchens of the two restaurants are located on the same side.
The reporter saw at the scene today (3rd) that a number of staff from the Centre for Health Protection and the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department entered and passed from Niaoshi to Wangyue Tower.
However, Bird Ten has not been specifically designated to be included in the compulsory testing announcement. "Hong Kong 01" is now inquiring with the authorities.
Respiratory system doctor Liang Zichao said that the shops are shared spaces, and the potential transmission channels include air transmission and indirect contact. The situation is not ideal. For the sake of "insurance", the key compulsory testing area should be covered by the connected restaurant.
According to the floor plan of the restaurant posted by Mochizuki Tower, it shares a berth with the Japanese restaurant Niaoten, and there are at least two aisles that are interconnected, including a crosswalk near the opening that can directly reach the restroom at Niaoten, which is also the only place in this shop. One is a bathroom; the other aisle is located in the D area of Wangyue Tower, and the two aisles have dining tables adjacent to each other.
Moreover, the kitchen of Mochizuki Tower is also in the range of Bird Ten, above the left side of the bunk.
According to the information provided by the Center for Health Protection, the source of the outbreak in the Mochizuki Tower, the seats that violated Cathay Pacific’s empty seats, are located near the common passageway between the two restaurants and close to the entrance of the Mochizuki Tower.
The Secretary for Food and Health, Chen Zhaoshi, revealed yesterday (2nd) that after an investigation by the CHP, the first Cathay Pacific Airman who was infected was sitting near the entrance of the restaurant. It is believed that the diners passed by the table when they entered and exited, although there was no face-to-face contact. However, the virus is spread through short-distance air.
Checking the internal environment pictures of the two restaurants and the photos of the food review platform, it was confirmed that the two restaurants are interoperable. Some reviews showed that the diners of Bird Ten were arranged to take seats at the Mochizuki Tower.

The reporter visited the site today. The Niaoten is currently closed, and several employees are included. The December 30 announcement is still posted at the door, stating "arrangement for Niaoten and Mochizuki staff to receive closer testing and medical supervision."
From Niaoshi near the door, you can see a small door about one meter wide leading to the nearby Wangyue Tower.
Some employees pointed out that Niaoten will not open its doors for business today, and has not received a notice for quarantine.
A number of staff from the Centre for Health Protection and Food and Environmental Hygiene Department entered and walked from Niaoshi to Wangyue Tower, and through the small gate near the entrance of Niaoshi to Wangyue Tower.

However, currently only the shopping malls Festival Walk and Wangyue Tower are subject to mandatory inspections, but the independent "Travel with peace of mind" two-dimensional code Bird Ten has not been specifically designated as a mandatory inspection announcement.
"Hong Kong 01" is inquiring with the authorities.
Respiratory system doctor Liang Zichao said that the shops share the same space, and the key mandatory detection area should cover the connected restaurant. Diners have the opportunity to meet through the passage. In addition, if there is a possibility of sharing facilities, the situation is "not ideal", and the way of transmission Including airborne transmission and indirect contact have a chance to occur.
Even if two restaurants use independent ventilation systems, the filtration system can only dilute but not eliminate the virus. There may not be enough time for dilution in the crowded space, and there are interconnected walkways that cannot achieve unidirectional air flow.
Liang Zichao believes that Omicron has a strong spreading power. For the sake of safety, the restaurant Niaoten should also be subject to mandatory testing.
According to his analysis, it has been about a week since the first case of Mochizuki Tower was discovered. For the time being, the Ct value of related cases was high when they were discovered. Most of the close contacts have been sent for quarantine. The situation is "good luck", but At present, there are concerns that 30 diners in Wangyue Tower have not been found, or "leakage". It is also unknown whether there will be any cases of "leakage" in the same bird. Therefore, the "insurance" recommends strengthening the inspection work of the bird.
