Letters to health professionals on 9/1/2020: Prevention of Severe Respiratory Disease associated with a Novel Infectious Agent - health professionals

Dear Sir / Madam,

        In  view  of  the cluster of pneumonia cases discovered in Wuhan of

Hubei, China, the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region

has  amended  the Prevention and Control of Disease Ordinance (Cap. 599) to

include Severe Respiratory Disease associated with a Novel Infectious Agent

as one of the statutory notifiable diseases.  In addition, some guidelines

on infection control for allied health professionals have been prepared and

an infection control forum will be held on 20 January 2020.  I should be

most  grateful  if  you  could pass the letter to members of your society /

association.

Yours sincerely,

(Dr Edmund FONG)

for Director of Health
