SOT, Dr. Chuang Shuk-kwan, Head of the communicable disease branch of the Centre for Health Protection: "We have traced [his] household contacts, but we will also trace the high-speed railway, the two railways on 23rd of January, from G1035, the second cart, and G407 from Shenzhen to West Kowloon Station, is the front carriage. So potentially we have some more close contacts to be traced."
SOT, Dr. Chuang Shuk-kwan, Head of the communicable disease branch of the Centre for Health Protection: "Currently, we are using two rows in front of and two rows behind his seat, so potentially there will be quite a number of contacts. But since the first carriage is going to Shenzhen soon, not all of them come to Hong Kong. For the second carriage, it's from Shenzhen to West Kowloon, so potentially there will be some, yeah." *NO CUTAWAY AT SOURCE*
SOT, Dr. Chuang Shuk-kwan, Head of the communicable disease branch of the Centre for Health Protection: "For the border control right, I understand the chief executive will have another meeting in the afternoon, so if there's any additional measures, I think they will be announced later." *NO CUTAWAY AT SOURCE*
SOT, Dr Chung Kin lai, Hospital Authority Director: "In the Central Committee yesterday we talked about it. They fully understand how our staff is working very hard and the isolation rooms are very full. So we fully understand, some of them were quite anxious about the income of patients they are encountering. We actually welcome any measures that helps contain the spread of the infection and we reduce the patient loads to our hospital, but we always know that different sectors of the government, they have different concerns. To us, we can only do our best and as a team we are trying to do what we can to contain the virus. I think in the meeting, most of the [inaudible] are quite understanding of this point, so we hope that our staff can voice out their concerns, and we will help them to voice out their concerns to different parties. But it's very important at this moment that we stay on duty, because ultimately if we have a lapse in our [inaudible] control or in our hospital duties, ultimately the damage is to Hong Kong citizens and to ourselves." *NO CUTAWAY AT SOURCE*
