The new crown virus in Hong Kong has spread to officialdom and political circles.
Hong Weimin, a representative of the Hong Kong People’s Congress, was infected with another guest at his birthday banquet this Monday (3rd), and the second patient was exposed. At the scene from 6 to 9 o'clock that night, the Chief of Police Xiao Zeyi, who had left before 9:30, changed from not having to enter Penny's Bay for quarantine, but instead wanted to enter.
According to the news, if Yang Zizhen's review is positive, all will be sent to Penny's Bay, but the authorities tend to be strict. Even in Fuyang, all attendees will be arranged to enter Penny's Bay.
It is worth noting that the CT value of the samples from Yang Zizhen, which was passed by the authorities, ranged from 34 to 36, which means that the virus content is low, and it is yet to be confirmed whether the diagnosis is confirmed.
Experts said that the possibility of false positives in cases cannot be ruled out, such as environmental contamination of test samples during laboratory tests.
Yang Zizhen’s husband and doctor Zhu Weixing revealed that in order to send the samples to the laboratory for testing, he took samples for his wife in the disabled toilet of the laboratory last night. He confirmed that he did not touch the surrounding environment during the period, but he was promising in his clinic yesterday. The patient was vaccinated by Kexing, and he was not sure whether he had contaminated his wife’s sample, and he had to be judged by an expert.

9:30 pm on Monday night becomes an important division
13 government officials, about 20 legislators and politicians attended Hong Weimin’s large birthday party this Monday. Among them, Prince Shiya of Rongyuan Tea Shop was diagnosed today, and Yang Zizhen tested positive today. The two were separately The front and back feet arrive and depart the banquet. The key time is 9:30 in the evening.
The party was held from 6 pm to late at night. 170 people participated. About 70 of them arrived after 9:30 pm. The banquet can eat and drink, and there is no fixed seat. The authorities pointed out that it is difficult to determine which location in the restaurant is for close contact. In addition, the length of stay is not short, so all attendees must be quarantined, and their home contacts must also be quarantined for a short period of time.
In other words, the 10 officials who did not need to be quarantined because the first confirmed case did not attend the banquet after 9:30 pm will be regarded as close contacts who need to be quarantined.
In the second half, guests included the Commissioner of Police Xiao Zeyi. Whether it is necessary to submit for inspection as scheduled is still uncertain. The authorities revealed at a press conference today that the CT value of the initial positive patient, Yang Zizhen, is between 34-36, which means that the virus content is low. It needs to be confirmed. Whether the diagnosis is confirmed, it can be confirmed later.
Respiratory specialist Liang Zichao pointed out that although the patient's CT value is low, the possibility of rejuvenation is unlikely, because Hong Kong has been cleared for a long time earlier, and "no transmission is good."
He continued that according to the current situation, the possibility of false positives in the case cannot be ruled out, but the chances are not particularly high. "It may be that the sample is contaminated. The most alarming is that all environmental pollution has been tested. In fact, I have tried it before." Confirm further after review.
Liang Xuhui pointed out that if a false positive is confirmed, the quarantine arrangement can be used earlier and only the guests in the second half will be sent for quarantine.
However, if the case is confirmed to be diagnosed, it indicates that there may be invisible transmission in the community, and since the two are not related, further investigation is needed to determine the source of the transmission. "The risk of a group will rise sharply," he said. See, all those who have attended the party should be sent to quarantine.
Yang Zizhen’s husband and family medicine specialist Zhu Weixing said in the evening that his wife had originally planned to go to the community testing center for testing. However, there are many appointments. After discussion, it was decided that he would test his wife himself, but it was too late at that time. Due to time constraints, it was necessary to submit test samples before the closing of the laboratory. So he and his wife rushed to the laboratory and performed the test on the spot. During the sampling, he confirmed that he did not touch the surrounding environment during the period.
The test samples were also collected by himself, but they were carried out in his clinic in the morning of the same day.
He also pointed out that due to his wife's low CT value and unusual genetic sequencing, environmental contamination of the samples cannot be ruled out. The Centre for Health Protection is reviewing his case and will send staff to his clinic tomorrow to collect environmental samples for further investigation.
Zhu Weixing continued to point out that the laboratory itself does not store vaccines, and that he administers vaccines to patients that day. "I really don’t dare to tell (I’m not sure," it’s subject to expert judgment.)
He also mentioned that he had arrived at the Penny's Bay Quarantine Center tonight, and his wife was in the hospital and was arranged for independent isolation. He hoped that his wife would be a "false positive" case, so he can breathe a sigh of relief.
