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.
(See attached file: DH Letter 20200123 Healthcare Professionals.pdf)
Yours sincerely,
(Dr Edmund FONG)
for Director of Health
