Patient Hides Travel History To China, Increasing the Risk of Paramedics And Firefighters

A 70-year-old man, as the 55th confirmed case of Wuhan Pneumonia in Hong Kong, claimed that he did not visit China when seeking emergency services. According to the "Verbal Declaration Mechanism" used by the Hong Kong Government, a person is required to verbally answee "yes" or "no" only. In this case, the hospital later found out the man's immigration record at Lok Ma Chau Port, proving that he entered Hong Kong from China on 22 Jan.

As the man hid his travel history to China, 3 paramedics and 2 firefighters from Lei Muk Shue Fire Station offered him assistance without protective equipment.

The five having “close contact” with the men were later sent to quarantine.

PRC Nationals on Princess Diamond Cruise to Be Evacuated With Hong Kong Citizens to Hong Kong

PRC nationals on the Diamond Princess Cruise, currently docked in Yokohama, Japan, will be evacuated with Hong Kong citizens on the charter flights provided by Cathay Pacific arranged by the Hong Kong government. In other words, PRC nationals who were passengers of the Princess Cruise will not be sent back to Mainland China, but will enter Hong Kong with other Hong Kong citizens on board.

The latest arrangement, which has never been disclosed by the government and instead released by the PRC Embassy in Japan, further dismayed the local population in Hong Kong, in addition to the fear of community outbreak, supply shortages of medical protective equipment, and the lack of transparency of the Hong Kong as well as the PRC governments.

The first charter flight will take off on Feb 20 at 01:45 in Japan. As of Feb 19, there are 621 confirmed cases of Wuhan pneumonia on the cruise.

Although the flights would be provided by Cathay Pacific and the evacuation plan was carried out by the Hong Kong goverment, Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam openly reiterated her appreciation to the PRC Embassy in Japan for arranging coaches to transport the passengers to the airport in Tokyo.

Despite many countries having issued ban to prohibit PRC nationals from entering, the Hong Kong government had insisted to leave the borders between Hong Kong and China open.
