The Hospital Authority said the Tuen Mun Eye Centre will shut temporarily from Monday as one more staff working there is now suspected to be infected with the coronavirus – after three workers there were confirmed as virus patients over the weekend, RTHK reports. It said on Sunday that the latest worker whose preliminary test has proved positive is an assistant to the center's service operations and she had been helping to check temperature of visitors at the entrance since July 13. In a statement, the authority said she has spent one and a half hour each morning from that day on that task and she was wearing “appropriate protective gear” while on duty. The case comes after three employees at the center were infected, and they have all worked in offices on the ground floor. The authority said most of their clerical staff on that floor will now be sent to quarantine camps.
