In the west district of Kowloon, Hong Kong, there are more than 10 staff of the nursing home who are all infected with the epidemic, but some people still have to stay in the nursing home to take care of the elderly, like a trapped animal fight, and as a result, more than 40 friends in the hospital have also been recruited, shouting: "Which can save us?"

Some nursing staff will confirm that due to the number of workers stipulated in the SWD license, some staff of private nursing homes for the elderly will continue to work even if they are infected: "If they are hit, they will return to work, it will really kill the elderly, and it is useless to wear ten masks." Although other premises have "healthy" staff on duty, staff are required to share the workload of infected employees and have to work overtime.

Chan Chi Yuk, Chairman of the Elderly Services Association, also pointed out that the current epidemic situation in residential care homes for the elderly is critical, with all the elderly and staff of smaller residential care homes diagnosed, and about 10% of the staff in the industry as a whole are infected with the epidemic. In view of the shortage of manpower, the elderly care process needs to be simplified.

In the fifth wave of the epidemic in Hong Kong, there were 530 confirmed cases of elderly or disabled homes, involving more than 800 staff and 2,450 hospital staff.

Frontline staff of a nursing home in kowloon's western district revealed that since the beginning of February, more than 10 colleagues in the hospital have been infected with the epidemic one after another, and together with the employees' self-rapid testing, they have been "infected whole-person" by mid-last week.

She said that in addition to about 10 colleagues who were infected earlier, who had been sent to the hospital or arranged for isolation, the rest of the colleagues were still staying at their posts, but their bodies and minds were almost broken, and more than 40 employees were also diagnosed, "Some people (colleagues) dare not tell their families that they have won, the cold and flu medicine in the hospital is not enough, they have to rely on colleagues (who have recovered from the earlier infection) to send in, the most uncomfortable is that a few hospitalmates are uncomfortable every day, and those without serious disease are sent back to the trapped animal fight."
