The epidemic continues. Hong Kong today (9th) reported 1,161 new confirmed cases. Recordings were circulated online. Some citizens called the Department of Health to complain that their foreign domestic helper had tested positive for a rapid test. Going home to wait for the result, "Government speaks to the emergency room, can you return to the housing enterprise?" I was worried that the process of returning home from the foreign domestic helper might spread the virus.
"Hong Kong 01" successfully contacted the citizen, and the Hospital Authority suggested today that due to the large number of patients seeking treatment, the A&E department is overloaded, and urged the public to seek medical treatment at private medical institutions first. Whether it’s asking people to go to a private hospital or clinic, it’s all about pushing a wave to medical institutions.”
I don't mind Que's return to the housing company, but it's because the government speaks to the A&E department. Can I return to the housing company?
Mr. Lam, the employer of the foreign domestic helper who tested positive
The foreign domestic helper came home on Sunday with a fever and tested positive again on Monday
Mr. Lin, who lives in Longhu Court, Longpanyuan, has his foreign domestic helper going out on Sunday.
Mr. Lin pointed out that due to the recent severe epidemic, the family used to provide the foreign domestic helper with a rapid test after returning home. At that time, the foreign domestic helper tested negative, but developed symptoms such as fever on the same night.
Mr. Lam then arranged for the foreign domestic helper to submit a deep throat saliva sample to the government outpatient clinic on Monday.
But the domestic helper developed a high fever at night, so another rapid test was performed for her, and the result came back positive.
The foreign domestic helper then contacted her sister who was working in another family in Hong Kong. Since the two had met before, her sister was also negative in the rapid test.

Multiple efforts to contact the Department of Health for instructions to no avail
However, since Mr. Lam was working at the time, according to the guidelines of the Department of Health, the foreign domestic helper took a point-to-point form to take a taxi to the Accident and Emergency Department of United Hospital.
However, after the emergency room tested her, she was asked to go home and wait for the results.
It was about 11 pm when Mr. Lin received a notice from the foreign domestic helper and bluntly said that he was astonished at the arrangement: "I don't mind Qu's return to the housing company, but it is the government's speech to go to the A&E department, can you please return to the housing company?"
He was worried that the domestic helper might spread the virus when he returned home, so he immediately called the DH hotline, but since the service time was only until 8 pm, no one answered. The hotline staff of United Hospital pointed out that the Arrangements are made in accordance with the guidelines of the Department of Health.
After many attempts, Mr. Lam Fang successfully contacted the staff of the Department of Health through the helpline for forced inspection after the arrival of foreigners in Hong Kong.
However, the staff told her that they did not understand the arrangement.
Therefore, Mr. Lin Zi asked the hotline staff if he could refer him to the relevant departments, or asked his supervisor for instructions on the case. The staff replied that it could not be arranged. Mr. Lin said, "I gave up after making this call, I don't know what I can do. , only Sister Wan took a ride back to the house.”
A pair of daughters were called home after they tested positive for self-test and went to the emergency room
He questioned that the hospital sent patients home to wait for the results, but failed to provide guidance on the means of transportation they took and the measures to prevent transmission after returning home.
Mr Lim's 6-year-old and 9-year-old daughters developed symptoms one after another and were initially positive after a rapid test this afternoon.
After the daughter took the ambulance to the emergency room for treatment, the hospital also advised her to go home and wait for the results.

The foreign domestic helper is still at home: It's so hard to hear her cough and sigh outside the door
Li Liye, general administrative manager (integrated clinical services) of the Hospital Authority, suggested at the press conference on the epidemic that citizens who have been initially diagnosed by rapid testing can go to the A&E hospital in a point-to-point manner; however, he said today that patients who have tested positive should stay at home , and then relatives and friends will take the sample bottle and return it for re-examination. Do not go to the emergency room.
Mr. Lin criticized: "Should people go out to the streets if they are positive? No matter if they ask people to go to private hospitals or clinics, they are all going to medical institutions!" Test methods, such as sending test kits by post for review.
He pointed out that the foreign domestic helper has been waiting for nearly two days, and has not received any notification of confirmed diagnosis. Symptoms of sore throat began to appear.
