Hong Kong Government Implement New quarantine Measures, Disorganising the Capacity of Existing Health Care System
Preventing the second wave of Coronavirus outbreak, the HKSAR government implemented new quarantine measures on Thursday, March 19, requiring all arrivals from abroad to undergo mandatory quarantine or medical surveillance for 14 days.
Student, nicknamed 'Y', has just returned from Finland and said the quarantine measures at the Hong Kong Airport were in disarray on the first day.
Upon his arrival in the morning, he informed the immigration officer that he had a mild cough. He was then taken to wait in isolation for further examination. The quarantine facility in the airport was roughly constructed and separated from other areas with fabric curtains. Only water and dry food were provided to 20 to 30 civilians in the quarantine area. No arrangement was made for them to retrieve their luggage.
Having waited for more than 10 hours, they were still not sent for medical inspection, due to the insufficient room in the hospital. Student Y criticised the arrangement as chaotic, as it was implemented without considering the capacity of the city's health care system.

Cleaners Delighted To Receive Extra Surgical Masks Distributed By Union, Representative Laments At Government’s Incompetency
The Cleaning Worker’s Union has recently been distributing surgical masks to frontline cleaning workers in the community. A reporter from Hong Kong In-media joined union representative Leung Tsz-yan in distributing them. Cleaning workers were delighted when they received these extra masks.
Union representative Leung lamented at their reaction and criticized the Hong Kong government’s incompetence in providing them with enough protective equipment. Since the protests last year up until the current epidemic, these cleaners went among the firsts to be affected because of the lack of protective gear.

Health Officer: Wristband is not a must;
Passenger: Epidemic screening at the Hong Kong airport is loose and sloppy
Since March 19, all passengers coming to Hong Kong from countries apart from China, Macau and Taiwan are asked to undergo a mandatory 14-day home-quarantine and given with a wristband for medical surveillance tracking.
A 22-year-old university student studying in the U.S. recounted on social media that he was not provided with any wristband, as he had made a transit in Taipei before arriving in Hong Kong on March 20. On the health declaration form, he was not asked to declare the places he visited.
The student said he asked the airport staff on site for the wristband but was told that “it is not a must” after one hour of waiting. He criticized the screening process for being “loose and sloppy”. Some doctors opinioned that the declaration process should be made mandatory, rather than voluntary.
The police reported that 41 people were found breaching the quarantine order. Five of them left their home without permission, of which two had removed the wristband. The remaining 36 were yet to be located, and warrants had been issued for their arrests.

Hong Kong Police Force apologises for officer hindering medical staff's epidemic prevention work
Read the apology by Police Force ⬆️
https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/19019
The Police expressed deep regret for the female officer who contracted Coronavirus, and refused to put on mask when receiving medical examination in Caritas Hospital.
The female police officer was not wearing filter mask when phlebotomists collected her blood sample, so they were deemed close contacts of the officer and required to undergo a quarantine for 14-days. One of the phlebotomists was not well and sought medical assistance in Accident & Emergency unit of the hospital.
The police stated on its social media platform today (March 27) that the Force is deeply concerned, expressing that the officer had insufficient awareness of epidemic prevention. They have immediately approached her to understand the incident and asked her to follow instructions of medical staff to protect others from being infected.
In order to prevent similar incidents, the police remind all its officers to support medical staff's epidemic prevention work and to maintain personal hygiene at all times to reduce the risk in virus transmission.
Editor Note: The police has been wearing masks in previous monthes, before the outbreak, to hide their identities. However, in the past few weeks, quite a number of police officers could be seen without masks when conducting their operation.
