Those who have been diagnosed have suffered from staying in a hotel and being quarantined at home. Some readers reported to Dongwang.com that they faced many difficulties following staying in a quarantine hotel. The authorities and hotels have failed to provide support for essential medicines, and have prohibited relatives and friends from delivering medicines. He is also dissatisfied that the air in the hotel room is not ventilated, and the air is only supplied by the air conditioner. “I can hardly shake my breath. After being transferred to the hotel, the condition deteriorated and I was trapped in the hotel by the government waiting to die!” Respond flexibly to requests for outside deliveries of doctors’ prescriptions, and also understands that quarantined people will not be used to it in unfamiliar environments.
Several members of Mr. Wang’s family developed symptoms at the beginning of the month. They were diagnosed the next day in the building enclosure. One hour later, they were sent to Dorsett Tsuen Wan for 2-person isolation and quarantine. Although Mr. Wang did not have a fever, his cough and nasal congestion persisted for a long time. He called the front desk of the hotel for assistance, but the staff only told him to call the on-duty staff of the government isolation facility. The 24-hour hotline might not be connected, and the service promise became Empty talk. In addition to providing three meals, bottled water, toilet paper and a box of “Jinhua Qinggan Granules” Chinese medicine granules, the hotel did not provide any other medicines or materials.
Wang Xu said that following being isolated in a hotel for several days, the air-conditioning alone provided fresh air, and the windows were not opened. He angrily denounced the isolation environment and the outrageous arrangements, describing it as “being trapped in a hotel by the government waiting to die”, preferring to self-isolate at home to recuperate.
In recent days, the plague has continued to break out, and the number of infected people has hit a new high. Mr. Wang believes that it is not necessary to send confirmed patients to isolation facilities for quarantine, and the supporting facilities are insufficient. He hoped that the authorities would improve supporting facilities and provide appropriate support to patients.
The Security Bureau said it was aware of the case and immediately dispatched officers to follow up. Under normal circumstances, quarantined persons cannot receive items sent from outside, but the authorities will flexibly deal with individual special cases, such as doctor-prescribed drugs. If residents feel unwell, they can call the medical hotline or the hotel front desk for assistance. The authorities understand that quarantined persons are not used to unfamiliar environments and will try their best to provide appropriate assistance.
