“All those close contacts will be isolated in the holiday camps.”
A member of staff from the health department told the Post that a three-person team, comprising two nurses and a doctor, would be sent to the camps once the health department confirmed they were up and running.”
“In mainland China, the National Health Commission (NHC) authorised hospitals nationwide to quarantine any suspected carriers of the virus and their close contacts, even against their will.”
