張竹君:相信機場貴賓室工作女子屬新發感染個案
衛生署衛生防護中心傳染病處主任張竹君表示,本港今日(17日)新增1宗本地確診個案,患者為國泰航空(00293.HK)機場貴賓室「寰宇堂」工作的女子,並帶有L452R,即Delta病毒。患者上星期六仍有上班,未接種新冠疫苗,最近分別在7月30日、8月5及9日,曾接受定期檢測。
她指,目前已為患者家人、緊密接觸者、以及居住大廈人士進行強制檢測,暫時未發現個案,所以相信是在工作地感染的機會較大,詳細需要基因檢測結果,需時約兩至三天。另外涉及的15個處所已納入強制檢測公告。患者負責樓面派送食物,客人或會因未有佩戴口罩而有機會感染,但轉機客難追蹤,除非對方國家找到個案。
她又指,患者的CT值有少許下跌,而且過去頻繁檢測亦未有發現確診,相信屬新發感染個案,並非舊個案。
