The novel coronavirus epidemic in Hong Kong is severe. The number of confirmed cases has exceeded 100 for two consecutive days. Most of the people with mild illness after the diagnosis will be sent to the Hong Kong Infection Control Center (i.e., the temporary hospital) of North Lantau Hospital on the Airport Island.

There are complaints from confirmed patients, and there is a shortage of manpower in the center. A nurse is responsible for the work of multiple wards, requiring shampoo or waiting for two hours. Paper bottoms, wet wipes and other materials are out of stock. Change only once a day.


A nurse in charge of 70 wards on the first floor has to wait for 2 hours to ask for shampoo

Mr. Chiu has been hospitalized at the Hong Kong Infection Control Centre of North Lantau Hospital for 11 days.

He pointed out that the center has few staff, and only one nurse is responsible for food distribution and testing every day. It is estimated that there are more than 70 wards on the whole floor, and each ward has 6 people, all of whom are in charge of a nurse. The ground does not smell.” For example, when they asked for shampoo, the nurses clearly stated that they had to deal with matters such as admission and discharge before they could be delivered in about two hours.

There is also a shortage of supplies at the center. Shampoo, paper bottoms, wet wipes, and paper cups were all out of stock. Mr. Zhao said that at present, paper bottoms need to be worn every few days before being replaced.

He pointed out that his family would send supplies for him, and they had to replenish them every two or three days, but there were only two times a day to put down supplies.

He also described that the food at the center is not good, the portion is not enough, and the chicken chop in the lunch box has been undercooked, so cup noodles have been eaten almost every day recently.

He questioned that most of the patients in the center are in stable condition and do not need food and medicine. He believes that it is appropriate to adhere to the standard of negative results of two tests, because he estimates that in his own situation, he may still be discharged from the hospital after a week or two. The government has relaxed that as long as the virus load is below a certain non-contagious standard, patients will be quarantined at home, reducing the pressure on medical care.
