[17:06] Ou Jiarong said that the stratified triage method has been used to assess whether the case needs to be quarantined. If the family has a separate room and a separate toilet, it is not a high-risk person. If the condition deteriorates, you can seek medical treatment and find it yourself. In addition, there are no high-risk people at home. It is generally possible to isolate at home. I did a questionnaire before, and now I hope it can be strengthened, especially in the home environment. I don’t want if the patient wants to share the toilet with other family members, it will increase the risk of infection. I hope to arrange for the patient to share the toilet. Transfer to the isolation facility, we will still collect information through the online questionnaire platform and conduct telephone surveys. We will pay special attention to the address and assessment. If we think there will only be one toilet, we will arrange isolation. We hope that the public can declare truthfully. Follow up.

[16:59] Ou Jiarong said that the Director of the Food and Health Bureau announced on June 14 that if the confirmed patients want to share a bedroom or toilet with their family members, they will be arranged to go to Penny's Bay for isolation to avoid increasing the risk of transmission at home. Center for Health Protection The relevant questions of the online questionnaire have been updated today to help assess whether they are suitable for isolation. The question about the toilet has been changed to whether a dedicated toilet can be arranged at home for confirmed patients. If the answer is no, the case will be arranged to go to an isolation facility, and the center will follow the reported residential address. Strengthen assessment and verification, and if false information is suspected, appropriate follow-up and enforcement will be carried out.

The dining restaurant "Shi Mei Xuan" was reserved for teachers and students of this school that night. It is believed that there may be a chance that the track and field team could infect each other during training. Or the dinner spread, all teachers and students have attended that night, and it has been recommended to do testing. The restaurant recommends that all employees do nucleic acid testing. No employees have been affected yet. It is recommended that the Zuo Restaurant should be thoroughly disinfected and does not need to be closed for the time being.

Although the number accounted for a small percentage of the overall cases, this new subtype was seen. The Omicron virus has indeed spread widely in the community. Many cases have been found whose source is unknown, and the place of infection is unknown. It is believed that there is a hidden transmission in the community, not concentrated in a certain district, but it appears in many districts. It is believed that the virus has begun to spread in the community, reflecting the current overall situation of Hong Kong. The spread of OMICRON is increasing, except for BA.2.12.1, BA.2.2 seen in the fifth wave has increased.
