The Omicron variant virus outbreak broke out in the local community. The Centre for Health Protection announced today (13th) that there were 14 new confirmed cases and less than 10 preliminary confirmed cases.
Two of the initial cases are nurses from JP Medical. One of the part-time nurses is a nursing student at the School of Continuing Education of Baptist University. She was with a confirmed patient at the Gold Coast Mall Clinic on the 3rd of this month. As for the other nurse who was initially positive, there was no overlap with the part-time nurse.
This evening, the government sealed off the residences of the two, including Block 1, Lung Shing Garden, No. 345 Castle Peak Road, Castle Peak Bay, Tuen Mun, and Block 2, CapitaLand Garden, No. 13-17, Wing Fat Lane, Tuen Mun. The target is tomorrow morning (14th). Complete the action at 7 o'clock.
The Government today (13th) invoked the Prevention and Control of Disease (Compulsory Testing of Certain Persons) Regulation (Cap. 599J) to make a declaration of restriction and testing. Tuen Mun designated "restricted areas", namely Block 1 of Lung Shing Garden, No. 345 Castle Peak Road - Castle Peak Bay, Tuen Mun, and Block 2 of CapitaLand Garden, No. 13-17 Wing Fat Lane, Tuen Mun.
Persons to be tested are required to wait at their premises until all identified persons in the "restricted area" have completed their tests and the relevant test results have been roughly confirmed, before leaving their premises.

The government will set up temporary sampling stations in the "restricted area" and require those tested to be tested before 0:00 a.m. tomorrow.
