    Q&A

    • URSUS: Cases from 1PP Gym and Pure - Worried about outbreak and will you test all clients?

      - Staff is being tested.

    • Many buildings in Central are full of (viral) shit - Mandatory Testing (Sorry could not resist)

      - Waiting for expert comments

    • Kellett School - Everyone needs to be tested?

      - Primary 4 has to go through mandatory testing.

    • [B]So many buildings being tested - Are Central and Western declared a high risk area? Should lawyers, bankers and others work from home, stop being social?

      32 residential and 21 work places will be added to testing notices today. If offices can arrange WFH it is better than going to work.

    • Gabriel Leung - Said sewage samples are positive in Central and Western - what is being done?

      - Not aware of the situation - waiting to see what the results of current compulsory testing in the area. The cluster is very compact and close contacts are being identified very quickly unlike dance cluster.

    • What is the distribution of viral shit in Central / Western? Will you ambush? Or because they're not poor districts you will not close?

      - Closure depends on the govt. 32 new buildings being added to compulsory testing - find the buildings on the internet.

    • URSUS: 7 staff, 75 customers and 17 close contacts. There is transmission at home and work places.

    • This is still the 4th outbreak since we never went to zero cases

    • No details of work places - look it up on the internet later tonight.
