Xu Lejian, director of the Centre for Health Protection of the Department of Health, pointed out that so far, there are 42 institutions and more than 80 staff have been infected.
When asked if it is possible to arrange quarantine in the residential care home for the elderly, he pointed out that the decision is a careful consideration. If there is a mistake, it will lead to an outbreak in the residential home. Consider in-situ quarantine.
When the residents are evacuated, they try to arrange to go to the AsiaWorld-Expo. However, due to the limited space, some residents may return to the home to complete the rest of the quarantine after 7 days of quarantine at the AsiaWorld-Expo.
There are currently 16 homes that need to be evacuated.
