【🚑西寶城送院個案跟進：養和回覆送院屬實】
【病人曾到訪內地醫院 已根據程序送院檢查】
昨日於西寶城的懷疑送院個案，葉錦龍經電郵查詢養和醫院後，今日收到院方回信。
養和醫院表示：
//病人於早上十時到來家庭醫學及基層醫療中心求診，進行「流行病學監察分流評估」後，發現曾到訪中國內地醫院，故根據「嚴重新型傳染性病原體呼吸系統病」呈報準則，安排病人進入獨立房間隔離，並由全副保護裝備的醫護人員作初步診症，同時與養和醫院感染控制組及衛生署衛生防護中心聯絡，並決定送往公立醫院檢查。
病人在中心逗留期間，中心未有其他病人。病人離開後亦已按照指引全面消毒。而由一月至今，養和根據「呈報機制」共呈報了18宗個案，當中未有確診患者。//
在此感謝醫院的開誠報公，資訊透明是確保社會不會隨意恐慌的重要元素。但馬上封關並確保口罩供應才能穩定市民抗疫信心，可惜政府無能，令街坊缺乏信心。我已回信希望院方能與區議會保持溝通，讓市民能更快得知最新消息。
葉錦龍呼籲各位街坊，出門緊記注意衛生，回家後記得馬上以潔手液或肥皂清潔雙手最少20秒，並確保家居衛生。
#政府無能，#民間自救。各位如有其他懷疑個案亦可短訊我們以作跟進。
#去家庭醫學果邊應該唔係婆婆
#保安話係三十幾歲女人
#管理處又話聯絡過養和唔係懷疑個案
#結果一封信落黎大巴車落塊面到
#仲咁好意思話係謠言
#同林鄭政府有乜分別
#感謝養和肯講真話
【The Westwood Case Follow-up: Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital Reconfirms Public】
【Patient Visited Hospital in the Mainland, Current Inspection under Hospital Procedures】
With respect to the suspected case that happened in The Westwood yesterday, Sam has contacted the establishment through e-mail enquiry and has received a reply today.
Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital states: (Extract)
“ The patient visited our Family Medicine and Primary Care Centre at 10a.m. After undergoing an epidemiologic inspection review, it has been founded that the patient has previously visited a hospital in mainland China. Following the reporting guidelines for the ‘Severe Respiratory Disease associated with a Novel Infectious Agent’, the patient has been relocated to an isolated ward for quarantine purposes and will be inspected by medical staffs armed with full protection gear. Meanwhile, our contamination control group has contacted The Centre for Health Protection and has decided to direct the patient to public hospitals for further inspection.
Over the period where the patient stayed in the Centre, there were no other patients, and sanitization has been carried out strictly under guidelines. Since January, Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital has reported 18 cases under given guidelines, no patient has been confirmed with the novel coronavirus.”
Sincere gratitude towards HKSH’s reply, information transparency is a key to prevent society from unnecessary fear and panic. In addition, total border closure from the mainland and securing supply of surgical masks will definitely arm citizens with confidence in standing against this epidemic. Yet, the government has failed to do so and has been detrimental to citizens’ health and mental security. I have replied HKSH that the District Council will keep in close contact with the hospital, in securing and accelerating our deliverance of information to the public.
Sam reminds everyone, hygiene awareness is important when going out, remember to wash and cleanse your hands with detergents for at least 20 seconds when arriving back home, also regularly keeping your own residential space sanitized.
Save ourselves through our own hands, especially when the government is not. Please report to us if you find any suspicious cases so that we can follow-up.
