A health expert on Friday said authorities should bar people from leaving a Covid-hit building in Kwai Chung for three days instead of allowing them to leave once they tested negative for the coronavirus. He said the government should lock down the building for three days to ensure residents remained Covid negative for a certain period before leaving the building. However, Hui said authorities may not have sufficient personnel to handle the total lockdown and relevant arrangements such as delivering daily necessities for residents. He urged residents of the building to avoid going outdoors to lower the risk of further transmissions. Further investigation shows the teacher and two sons of the 43-year-old woman showed up at the same MTR exit – Mei Foo MTR exit A – nine seconds apart.
