    I'm assuming the people they came in contact with, at least those that can be traced by the authorities, will be quarantined as well?

    Sunday, May 31st 2020
    Presented by Dr. Chuang Shuk Kwan JP
    There is 2 new confirmed cases today (1084-1085)
    Patients are between 34-56 Years Old
    1 Female
    1 Male
    0 Travel History
    0 Student
    2 Local
    Patients in hospital: 44
    Patients in critical condition: 2 (595+1084)
    Patients in serious condition: 0
    Patients discharged: 0
    New deaths: 0
    Total deaths: 4

    1084 - 34 Year Old Female resides at Wo Che Estate in Sha Tin. She lives with her husband sister in law. On May 22nd she experienced a cough and back ache and visited a private doctor 3 times. The private doctor did not take a Covid-19 sample. On May 29th she experienced chest pain and a lot of phlegm so the family decided to call an ambulance. She works in a warehouse in Kwai Chung that handles fresh foods from the United Kingdom. Her working hours are around 8pm-4am. There were two colleagues of hers that did not feel well between April 25 and April 27 and they have tested weak positive. Dr. Chuang says that there is a chance that this was the origin for the transmission.

    She has about 25 colleagues working the night shift in the warehouse. Those who work the night shift will all be tested and sent to a government quarantine facility for 14 days. The day shift workers will be tested and allowed back after a deep clean of the warehouse. CHP will be passing out testing bottles to all the residents of her building for testing.

    HA described when the patient first arrived at the hospital, her condition can be described as very critical. Three staff members jumped into help that were not wearing full PPE suits. These staff members will be observed and tested. HA says they will remind to wear full PPE suits when attending to all patients in the ER. She has no underlying conditions and does not smoke.

    1085 - 56 Year Old Male resides at Wo Che Estate in Sha Tin. He does not work and usually only goes out during the day to the wet market/supermarket. The patient was not feeling very well last week with a slight fever. He also visited a private doctor but was not given a Covid-19 test. Yesterday, when he was talking to CHP staff about his wife they asked about his well being and he told them he had not been feeling well. As a precaution, they sent him for a check and found he was Covid-19 positive.

    Or if she's in a warehouse, what about those cross border drivers? Don't they deliver to warehouses? How are they tracked / monitored etc?
