[Comprehensive compilation of China Jingwei Network] The "Novotel mixed-habitation chaos" occurred in Taiwan in May this year. It was originally a quarantine place designated by the Taiwan authorities' civil aviation department, but it attracted customers while preventing the epidemic. The DPP is responsible for causing a major outbreak of the local epidemic.
However, in less than half a year, the epidemic prevention hotel has once again caused a breakthrough in the epidemic! After two confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the Zhongzheng District Epidemic Prevention Hotel in Taipei City "living next door", on December 16, a group of people in Taoyuan Epidemic Prevention Hotel also broke out. 8 people were confirmed in the entire building and 4 were detected as the same source of infection.
Facts have proved that the "review and apology" of the DPP authorities is just superficial, and they still have not made up for the omissions of epidemic prevention and isolation supervision. After all, the whole party is mobilizing to be busy with "anti-referendum", and the epidemic prevention has long been forgotten.
Taoyuan Mayor Zheng Wencan said that it is not ruled out that it is contact with gloves during delivery of food or garbage, or that it is transmitted from air conditioners. The source of infection must still be judged by the Taiwan Epidemic Command Center. The hotel gathering case was found out that a confirmed case was diagnosed on the 7th day of home independent health management. The epidemic command center urgently traced the contacts of the community and epidemic prevention hotels during their stay.
Taiwan media questioned that after the "Novotel Hotel Gathering" this year, the Taiwan authorities implemented a general physical examination for the epidemic prevention hotel at that time. Now that the epidemic prevention hotel Gathering has occurred again, has the physical examination not been implemented? The epidemic commander Chen Shizhong blamed the local government again, saying that "there are irregular inspections in the local area and will be fully inspected now."
Chen Shizhong also announced that it will strengthen four major epidemic prevention actions, including increasing the number of inspections, checking for epidemic prevention hotels when there are symptoms, and inspecting ventilation and air conditioning .
Professor Qiu Hongyi of the Department of Public Health of Taipei Medical University pointed out that Taiwan did not have enough understanding of air infection in the past. Most of the management of epidemic prevention hotels focused on software such as personnel, trafficking, food delivery and garbage disposal, and there was no way to ensure that the hardware was .
Zhang Zhenping, associate professor of the Department of Occupational Safety and Hygiene at Evergreen University in Taiwan, believes that there are two possible reasons for interactive infection in epidemic prevention hotels: one is that the compartment is not close, and the other is that the toilet exhaust vents are old; although the application for epidemic prevention hotels all pass through Relevant units checked, but these hard equipment needs to be climbed up to see, which is difficult to confirm.
The public health scholars on the island also bluntly stated that the management of epidemic prevention hotels should be remedied as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to respond to the Spring Festival return home.
According to Taiwan's China Times, this epidemic prevention hotel is close to Taoyuan Railway Station, and there are also multiple bus stops, gyms and cram schools next to it, with dense flow of people.
