#JUSTIN A total of 5 residents in Block 7 of Hong Mei House, Tsing Yi showed symptoms have all been tested negative for #nCoV2019, said CHP director Wong Ka-hing.
All 34 households have been notified and asymptomatic residents were sent to quarantine camps.
Prof KY Yuen said in the best case, Hong Mei House residents can return home for Valentine's Day if no more infection. But if more infection among residents is confirmed, all of them will have to be quarantined for 14 days.
#LATEST Hong Kong confirmed 7 more cases today, bringing the total to 49. No. 44 is a colleague to a member of the hotpot family cluster. No. 48 and 49 are son and daughter-in-law of Hong Mei's second confirmed case. #46 is the father of the daughter-in-law.
The gov explain that the leak on the vent pipe came from cracks on the sealing of the cut on the vent pipe. Family of patient no 42, 48 and 49 modified the sitting toilet in their home in Hong Mei House and cut the pipe. But the materials to seal the cut are found to be loose.
Asked if it's "meaningless" to close the border now, Prof KY Yuen said cross-border traffic has been mostly reduced, and the virus has been brought in town by tourists and HKers. He urged every one to do their part instead of being pessimistic and pointing fingers at each other.
