The Omicron variant virus in Hong Kong continues to spread in the community. Two nurses from Zhuang Pak Medical Care in Tuen Mun have been diagnosed, but the two have not been in contact with each other at the same time.

Zeng Qiyin, co-chairman of the Advisory Committee on Infectious Diseases of the Medical Association, pointed out on the radio that there may be residual virus in the cloakroom or dressing room of the clinic, or there may be a third party infection and transmission, which is to be investigated by the Centre for Health Protection.


He believes that under the large number of tests in Tuen Mun District, no large-scale transmission has been found. He believes that we should pay close attention to the situation in the next few days. If there are no cases of unknown origin in the community, and we can continue to find close contacts of the confirmed cases, I believe the epidemic can be cured. ease.


Zeng Qiyin pointed out in the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millennium Times" that although the work of the two nurses does not overlap, the clinic environment may be contagious indirectly, such as the cloakroom or dressing room, there may be residual virus, or other staff in the clinic have been infected, Transmission through a third party requires the CHP to take air and environmental samples and track other employees to find out the transmission chain.

Tuen Mun is expected to have an invisible chain of transmission. There are long queues at various testing centers in Tuen Mun. I once thought that the number of tests in Tuen Mun met expectations. It is good news that no new cases have been found through testing. I hope the government will reduce the spread of pharmacies in Cathay Pacific in Tuen Mun. The group of clinics and clinics will be cut off as soon as possible, and all relevant persons will be identified for testing and quarantine in a short period of time.

Yuan Guoyong, chair professor of the Department of Microbiology of the University of Hong Kong, said earlier that if the transmission chain of confirmed cases is maintained, the fifth wave of the epidemic is expected to ease around the Lunar New Year.

Zeng Qiyin has a similar view. He believes that there has been no large-scale transmission in the community, and no outbreak has been seen in the mandatory testing buildings and community testing. He pointed out that close attention should be paid in the next few days. If there are no unknown cases in the community, and close contacts can be found. Contacts, I believe it can be eased.

Zeng Qiyin believes that it is necessary to stop the transfer service to reduce the risk caused by imported cases and the pressure on the quarantine center.

The Airport Authority suspended the transfer service of flights from about 140 countries in Hong Kong yesterday. Zeng Qiyin believes that the practice has its own needs. "It will be better if you do it early." Or newly confirmed cases in other places will increase the risk of infection for airport employees.

Some people have not fully disclosed their whereabouts, and can only be traced after a confirmed case occurs. It has been suggested that citizens should record their travel to different places. If they do not travel with peace of mind, they should also remember. , "Stay so patiently, I don't remember it for no reason."

He believes that if someone is concealed, they should bear legal responsibility and should be dealt with by the Center for Health Protection and law enforcement units.
