"It is very important to cut off the transmission chain of close contacts as soon as possible." Wu Shufen, commander of the Mong Kok Case Tracking Office (Case Tracking Office) of the Center for Health Protection of the Hong Kong SAR Government, who is conducting case tracking with colleagues, told a reporter from China News Agency: "We can find all the close contacts within two or three days, and then send them to the quarantine camp very quickly, where the confirmed cases continue to appear. This means that if we did not find these close contacts so early If you go to quarantine, the virus will spread in the community."
In the face of the fifth wave of severe epidemics, all sectors of Hong Kong are united in the fight against the epidemic.
In order to quickly identify the transmission chain, the SAR government currently has two case tracking offices with more than 400 members, most of them from the disciplined forces.
And Wu Shufen is a retired Chief Superintendent of the Hong Kong Police Force. There are still many retirees from the disciplined forces who have devoted themselves to the fight against the epidemic like her.
Wu Shufen, who was previously in charge of the Personnel Service and Staff Relations Division of the Police Force, would go hiking every weekend after retirement, but her comfortable and secure retirement life was disrupted by the epidemic.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, she has participated in setting up isolation camps, contacting home quarantiners wearing bracelets, and setting up the Kai Tak Case Tracking Office.
In the past few days, she has used her previous experience in the establishment of the Kai Tak Case Tracking Office to assist in coordinating the participation of disciplined service personnel in the tracking work, and was appointed as the commander of the Mong Kok Case Tracking Office.
Wu Shufen said frankly that the case tracking process is cumbersome and difficult. One of the difficulties is that close contacts are scattered in all social strata. Many people do not cooperate and even submit false information, and some people delay, "How can we make our final To find out the truth and connect the transmission chain, we have experienced many twists and turns, but everyone upholds the spirit of perseverance and is not afraid of difficulties. Some people are responsible for making phone calls to check whether the taxi company has contacted this passenger, and some people write letters or Chat with the company's personnel department to find out how to get the information. They will call to find someone, and they will try to wait for someone at the door of the company."
Talking about the original intention of participating in the fight against the epidemic, Wu Shufen recalled that during the "revision turmoil" in 2019, some police officers' children were maliciously harassed, so she decided to set up a volunteer team to escort the police officers' children to and from school. A large group of people signed up, and some colleagues even donated a car to take the children to school, and then pick them up after school, giving money, effort, and time, which moved me very much.”
"I think what makes me proud of being a police officer is that we have a heart to serve the public and a heart to maintain social stability." Wu Shufen said, "Although we have all retired, our heart has not changed. Yes. The situation is different. When we became volunteers, we were not as systematic as before. We had to pay for a piece of paper and a pen. Why are these retired colleagues willing to come out and volunteer? In fact, it is because of this heart ."(over)
