Letter to healthcare professionals on 23/1/2020: Prevention of Severe Respiratory Disease associated with a Novel Infectious Agent (2nd letter)

Dear Sir / Madam,

        Further  to  the  previous email dated 9 Jan 2020, we would like to

provide  the  latest  situation of pneumonia cases in Wuhan of Hubei, China

and in Hong Kong.

        As of 23 January 2020, two highly suspected imported cases of novel

coronavirus  infection were found in Hong Kong.  The two patients have been

hospitalised  and  are  now  in  stable  condition.  In view of the latest

situation and risk assessment, we would like to alert healthcare workers to

adopt  stringent  infection  control  measures  to  reduce  the  risk  of

transmission  from  silent  patients  in  healthcare  settings.  Healthcare

workers  are advised to follow the relevant interim guidelines as listed in

the attached letter.

        I  should  be most grateful if you could pass the letter to members

of your society / association.

Yours sincerely,

(Dr Edmund FONG)

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
