Pacific Medical Systems’ response to the Centre for Health Protection's announcement of confirmed cases of novel coronavirus infection at North Point office. | Pacific Medical Systems 就衛生防護中心公布有關北角辦公室一宗新型冠狀病毒感染確診個案的回應

Pacific Medical Systems (PMS) was informed of a confirmed case of novel coronavirus infection on 9th February 2020 and we immediately made report to the Centre for Health Protection (CHP) that evening. The confirmed case is a PMS employee and he was infected at a private gathering. Between that and his hospitalization on 8th February, he was in the office on 3rd and 4th February only, wearing mask and having no symptoms. He did not visit any Hospitals for work related matters, but only visited the out-patient clinic of St. Paul’s Hospital on 6th February for consultation.


We have been working closely with CHP. Four other colleagues with close contact to the confirmed case during the said period were invited by CHP to be isolated. The other employees who had limited contact with the confirmed case will exercise self-quarantine at home and follow the CHP guidelines with wearing masks, frequent hand washing, temperature check and self-monitoring of health status.


Pacific Medical Systems Ltd (PMS) is taking suitable precautionary measures to safeguard the health and safety of our employees and customers as follows:


(I) Special arrangements re office opening hours
Effective from 10th February 2020 (Mon), our office will be temporarily closed until 25th February 2020 (Tue). We will postpone all appointments for customer visits, schedules for delivery and repairs, unless there is urgent or special request by the customer. For urgent or special requests, customers can reach us on 2108-4005. If non-quarantine staff shall attend work engagement, they have to wear mask and wash hands frequently. While our colleagues are working from home, we will follow the CHP guidelines to monitor our health status and good hygiene practice.


(II) Office disinfection measure
We have taken enhanced environmental disinfection measures in accordance with CHP guidelines. We have employed a medical grade, automatic airborne disinfection system (boosted Hydrogen Peroxide aerosol process) to thoroughly clean the office interior on 9th February, while Office Management has thoroughly disinfected the exterior and lift lobby area of the floor where PMS is located, with 1:49 diluted bleach.

 

(III) Infection control measures
We have reminded our employees to follow the CHP guidelines to wear mask, wash hands frequently, avoid crowded areas during the quarantine period.

 

We apologize for the inconvenient caused during our temporary office closure in these two weeks. Our office will resume full operation on 25th February 2020. Thank you for your understanding.
