A handout photo. A birthday party thrown for a pro-Beijing figure last week has now become a public health scandal.A recent birthday party attended by Hong Kong government officials and lawmakers in the middle of an Omicron outbreak is proving to be a major epidemiological headache for authorities as a number of guests remain unaccounted for, have hidden their whereabouts or were not using a risk-exposure app.
Speaking to the Post on Monday, Ma recalled that by the end of the dinner, the woman, whom he did not name, received a call from Wong informing her she had been infected. Chuang urged the party-goers who had not come forward to contact the centre directly as there were no surveillance cameras at the restaurant. She warned of legal consequences for anyone who deliberately misled the investigation.
Chan said she had scanned the app herself, as staff at the Reserva Iberica restaurant did not even notice her when she entered the venue. A source from the CHP admitted the existence of “invisible guests” at the party posed great difficulties for their contact-tracing efforts. Three officials and four lawmakers, who remained at the party after 9.30pm when the two infected women arrived, are still at Penny’s Bay while the others, including 11 government officials, were released after Yeung was declared false positive.
