RTHK Carries Out Disinfection After Covid Scare

RTHK on Thursday disinfected main areas of its headquarters in Broadcasting House in Kowloon Tong after it was reported that a cleaner who worked there had come down with coronavirus.

RTHK spokeswoman Amen Ng said the outsourced worker mainly cleaned the ladies washroom on the first floor and staircase, and the last time she came to work was on Thursday.

Eight cleaners who have been working with the patient will now stay away from their work temporarily and they will be tested for Covid-19.

A number of people in hazmat suits carried out the disinfection in areas including the newsroom, but Ng said RTHK's programme production was unaffected.

The cleaner lives in a subdivided apartment with a patient who came down with Covid-19 earlier, but was not considered as a close contact.
