The outbreak in Yat Kwai House in Kwai Chung Village has caused at least 16 people to be infected and involved in 12 units. The government decided today to change the "three-day forced inspection" to "five-day quarantine", and 2,700 households must be quarantined at home.
"Hong Kong 01" went straight to the latest situation of Yat Kwai Building and conducted a video interview with Mr. Xue, a resident at home. He said he understood the government's arrangement, but felt helpless about Yat Kwai Building becoming an epidemic building, "I don't even think about the corridor. out”, so I had to clean it frequently, “to the skin and toss it off.”
As for food, since he had lived in Penny's Bay, he had no expectations for the lunch boxes prepared by the government department. required.
The resident Mr. Xue lives in the high-rise unit of Yat Kwai Building with his mother, wife and children and workers.
After the epidemic broke out in the building, he has temporarily suspended work and accepted the mandatory 3-day test stipulated by the government yesterday.
He believes that "the 5-day ban should be done, and the previous one should be done late."
He pointed out that he did not blame the government for the arrangement. He believed that after inspecting the situation of the building, experts believed that it was not the structure of the building that caused the spread of the epidemic, and the building still has potential transmission risks. "The first inspection is safe."
Regarding the building becoming an epidemic building on New Year's Eve, he described "still in a bad mood" and "didn't even think about the corridor", but the matter is a foregone conclusion, so he has accepted the fact, won't worry too much, and has done enough cleaning. The specifications are the same as when dealing with "SARS" in the past, "the skin will be thrown away when you wipe it."
The lunch box is late, prepare food in advance for 5 days of living
It was not the first time for Mr. Xue's family to undergo isolation and quarantine. Last year, his son's kindergarten classmate was diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia. The whole family was listed as a close contact and was sent to Penny's Bay for compulsory quarantine. He lamented: "I have already entered bamboo once. Penny's Bay, the Mark Six Lottery didn't see me hit, and I hit two wok again."
Due to his previous experience in Penny's Bay, he had no expectations for the supplies and lunch boxes arranged by the government. Yesterday he was given 3 packs of instant noodles, 3 cans and a box of masks. The government will distribute the lunch boxes from today, originally scheduled for the evening. It was distributed at 7 o'clock, but it was not received. Finally, at about 9 o'clock in the evening, several people wearing protective clothing came to the door to deliver the box, and a family of 5 received 4 eggplant chicken rice and a vegetarian lunch box.
He said with a smile, "If you believe it (department), it means that there is no difference between practicing and dieting. If you want a cup noodle, it will take 4 bells, and if you want a pad, it will take a few days." Go to the supermarket to buy food, including bread, milk, eggs, vegetables, enough for a family of five for the next 5 days.
At around 10 p.m., Mr. Xue pointed out that he had not yet received a notification from the government about the testing arrangements, and the hotline provided by the government could not answer his questions. He hoped to know the relevant arrangements as soon as possible.
Call for suspension of purchases during the outbreak to cut off the chain of transmission
Regarding the source of the outbreak this time, people of Pakistani descent entered the building and went to the garbage room for recycling, which infected the cleaning workers who were in the garbage room at the time. Mr. Xue pointed out that many cleaning workers would pick up new and well-functioning household items and sell them for purchase. Guy earns a meager profit to help make a living, so the buyer will go in and out of different housing estates and buildings to recycle waste, and then sell it on the streets of Sham Shui Po. During this time, he contacts many people, which has the opportunity to spread the epidemic and form different high-risk transmission chains. Therefore, He believes that buying should be suspended during the epidemic. "After the epidemic, if everyone does not realize the seriousness behind the (buying) behavior, the bacteria (virus) can spread very much."
The resident sighed: I got a pot of bubbles
After learning about the quarantine measures at home, other residents of Yak Kwai House rushed to buy food.
The resident Miss Liang bought multiple bags of food to go home at night to prepare for a 5-day fasting. She said that she bought vegetables, meat and soft drinks.
Another resident, Mr. Yu, pointed out that the practice of banning must have an impact on residents, especially for residents who often need to come and go.
Qiu Sheng and Qiu Tai said that they would go downstairs for testing as usual tonight, but they did not expect to be on a 5-day ban. Enough to deal with it, "There is no way, if he (the government) wants to do whatever you want, you have to cooperate with him." But there is no way to kill them and bury themselves, only to strengthen the household cleaning.”
Ms. Zhou, who works as a dishwasher, said that "everything will happen" at home for the next 5 days. She also called herself a daily wage worker. She hoped that it would be better if the government could provide compensation.
Mr. Liu pointed out that he has not notified the company that he will not be able to go to work for the next 5 days, hoping that the government can provide at least half of the residents' 5-day salary as a subsidy.
Mr. Liu said that he has been accustomed to strengthening hygiene in the past two years due to the epidemic, and he seldom goes out for gatherings on weekdays.
