The Omicron variant virus has recently flowed into local communities, and multiple transmission chains have emerged. Among them, the number of people potentially infected with Cathay Pacific’s confirmed flight attendants and their mothers has increased to 14 today (6th).

"Hong Kong 01" compared the flight attendant mother group and another 8 people infected in the Wangyuelou group and found that 12 of the 14 patients in the flight attendant mother group had vaccination history showing that the vaccination rate was only 58%, that is, nearly half of them were not. Not only is the injection rate lower than the 100% vaccination rate of the Wangyuelou group, it is also lower than the 73.4% rate of the first injection population in Hong Kong.


Respiratory specialist Liang Zichao pointed out that whether there is a vaccine has a minimal impact on the transmission rate, and the public does not need to overstate it. However, he pointed out that people who are not vaccinated have a higher chance of getting severe illness.

Liang Zichao also pointed out that the flight attendant mother group has spread to the fourth generation so far. It has been 6 days after the flight attendant mother visited the small kitchen in Lutianyuan restaurant on December 31. "It has been passed on for three generations at any time." The most important thing now is Control the spread from the source.


Yuan Guoyong, a government expert consultant and Chair Professor of the Department of Microbiology of the University of Hong Kong, also pointed out that each seat in the small kitchen of Lu Tianyuan Restaurant is relatively close, and the number of people who eat at the same time as the patient is very small. Compared with the number of infected people, Lu Tianyuan’s diners were infected. The ratio is higher than Mochizuki.

In addition, 3 visitors have been infected. He predicted that Lu Tianyuan’s infection number could reach 1 to 10

Although the vaccine has a slight impact on the transmission rate Liang Zichao: no injection has a high chance of being severely ill

Respiratory specialist Liang Zichao pointed out that although the two groups have different proportions of vaccinations, whether there are vaccines has a minimal impact on the transmission rate, and the public does not need to overstate.

However, he pointed out that people who have not been vaccinated have a higher chance of getting severe illness.

Liang Zichao also pointed out that due to the early detection by the authorities in the Wangyue Tower tracking, some patients were diagnosed after they were admitted to the quarantine center and were not involved in the third-generation transmission. However, the flight attendant mother group has spread to the fourth generation so far, and it is 12 months away from the flight attendant mother. 31 It has been 6 days since I visited the small kitchen of Lutianyuan restaurant for dinner. "It has been passed on for three generations at any time." The most important thing now is to control the spread from the source.

Yuan Guoyong: The higher risk of severe illness also depends on age and underlying chronic diseases

Yuan Guoyong, a government expert consultant and Chair Professor of the Department of Microbiology at the University of Hong Kong, also pointed out that each seat in the small kitchen of the Lu Tianyuan restaurant is relatively close, and the number of people who eat at the same time as the patient is very small. Compared with the number of infected people, Lu Tianyuan’s diners were infected. The ratio is higher than Mochizuki.

In addition, three visitors have been infected. He predicted that Lu Tianyuan's infection number could reach 1 to 10, excluding restaurant staff.

He also believes that many people in the flight attendant group have not been vaccinated, and the risk of severe illness is higher, but it also depends on their age and potential chronic diseases.
