The quarantine arrangements for Mochizuki Tower and the Japanese restaurant are very different

Omicron, a variant strain of the new crown virus, broke out in the community, and a total of 6 diners in the Wangyue Tower group in Festival Walk were temporarily infected with the disease, and the adjacent Niaoshi Restaurant was temporarily closed.

"Hong Kong 01" checked the floor plan of Wangyue Tower in Festival Walk today (3rd) and found that the two restaurants are interconnected, and the inside can lead to the same bathroom.

In the afternoon of the same day, a number of staff from the Centre for Health Protection and the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department went to the Wangyue Tower to inspect through the entrance of the bird ten.

Ou Jiarong, chief physician of the Infectious Diseases Division of the Center for Health Protection of the Department of Health, responded at the press conference. Although the restaurant has the same toilet, all diners in Wangyue Tower use the toilets in the mall.

According to the current information, there will be no overlap between employees and diners; the ventilation system of the shop flows from the direction of the Niaoshi to the Wangyue Tower, so the air will not flow back and affect the Niaoshi diners.

However, due to the communication between the two restaurants, the employees of the two restaurants may share locker rooms and other facilities. Even the diners of the two restaurants may have a chance to intersect, which may increase the risk of infection. However, the government has strict quarantine requirements for the two restaurants and patrons. Different, there are still many doubts to be solved.

Ou Jiarong said at the press conference that after the mandatory inspection was issued on December 31, he had been with the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department to inspect the connection between the two restaurants.

He pointed out that although there are doors in the middle of the restaurants that can be opened, the entrances of the restaurants are completely different.

According to the information currently available, employees and diners will not overlap, nor will they use the same bathroom.

He added that the confirmed case of Mochizuki Tower did not use the toilets in the restaurant, but the toilets in the shopping mall.

The Department of Health says that the diners of Niaoshi will not be affected: the wind flows from Niaoshi to Wangyuelou

In order to avoid infection due to toilets, the Department of Health has taken samples of toilets in shopping malls and restaurants, and the results were negative.

In addition, the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department also inspected the air flow in the shops and found that the wind direction was from the Japanese restaurant Niaoju to the Mochizuki Tower.

Therefore, it is believed that the diners of Bird Ten will not be affected by this.

However, he also appealed again that all citizens who have been to Festival Walk between 1pm and 5pm on December 27th, including diners in Japanese restaurants, are required to undergo mandatory testing and require employees to perform encrypted testing. There are bird ten cases.
