The epidemic in Hong Kong continues to run rampant at a low level, and multiple infection clusters continue to expand. Three more confirmed cases have been confirmed in Xingyuelou, Sheung Wan, bringing a total of 73 people infected.
Au Ka-wing, chief doctor of the Infectious Diseases Division of the Centre for Health Protection of the Department of Health, said that the ventilation system in the store was faulty, resulting in insufficient fresh air volume, and not all air purifiers were turned on. There was also a problem with the extraction of air in the bathroom, which eventually led to a lack of ventilation in the store. When there are super spreaders, it is easy to cause a big outbreak.
Kwun Tong Yushan Private Kitchen also added three people to the infection, with a total of 29 confirmed cases.
Ou Jiarong said that two people in Yushan's private kitchen have not completed the test, and will be issued a strong prosecution order. Those who do not comply will be illegal.

EMSD reveals ventilation system failure, air purifiers not running at full capacity, and bathroom exhaustion problems
Au Ka-wing pointed out that the Department of Health and the EMSD staff visited Xingyue Building earlier for inspection, or the ventilation system in the store was faulty, the fresh air volume was insufficient, and the air purifier was not "on", and the bathroom was also exhausted. Therefore, the air circulation or indoor state that night was not ideal, and when super-spreaders appeared, it was easy to cause a big outbreak.
He mentioned that the Xingyue Building has been requested to make improvements, and the department will inspect it again.
The FEHD guidelines provide recommendations on hygiene and ventilation, etc. The Government will also conduct inspections from time to time to check whether the guidelines need to be updated.
