Daughter and mother in Lam Tin suspected to be infected by father; Facebook posts of the daughter of the 17th Wuhan pneumonia patient criticized HK govt not closing border resulting in outbreak in communities

(05 Feb) The 17th patient confirmed with Wuhan pneumonia is a 60-year old male retiree. He lives in Yue Hong House (Block A) Hong Tin Court in Lam Tin and has not traveled recently. On Jan 22, he started feeling unwell. He visited four different private doctors on Jan 23, 25 and 28. Among them, one worked for Quality HealthCare Medical Services at Telford Gardens.

His daughter and mother are currently staying in isolated wards at the United Christian Hospital while they wait for test results. His daughter posted on Facebook that she did not blame medical personnel for participating in the strike. Rather, she criticized the Hong Kong government for refusing to completely close the border, allowing the outbreak to spread into the community.

She also told a reporter, "Should I not speak now instead of waiting for the government to speak on my behalf?" She refused the reporter's request for a phone interview but will consider it if her father's condition stabilizes.

Facebook post from the 17th patient's daughter (Part 1):

(04 Feb) It is confirmed that my father has #WuhanPneumonia. Our entire family has not been to Mainland China for at least half a year. It was a case of human-to-human transmission. We are unsure if the infection came from the community or from people we came across over the past three days at the hospital. Does it help now for the government to be buried alongside us?

Department of Health may have failed to warn Telford to disinfect

Summary: Once again, the Department of Health may have failed Hongkongers by neglecting to alert the local community of the confirmed case of Wuhan coronavirus infection. As a result, no extra sanitation measures were taken until after the news broke. At Quality Healthcare at Telford Gardens, where the virus carrier had previously visited, patients needed to cancel their appointments on short notice. The virus may have already spread in his residential area at Hong Ting Court, Lam Tin.
