香港西醫工會就
新型冠狀病毒肺炎的新聞稿
二零二零年二月五日
致新聞界朋友們:
香港西醫工會是唯一向職工局註冊處註冊並為公營及私營醫生提供服務的工會，以維護醫生在僱主僱員關係中的權益，香港西醫工會秉承以維持和確保基層醫生提供最高水平的醫療服務，以提升香港市民的健康。
新型冠狀病毒肺炎感染的威脅迫在眉睫，本會對目前的動盪表示最深切的關注：
（1）我們完全支持並同意我們微生物學家就關閉連接中國大陸的邊境的說法。 我們應該只允許必需品例如食物和醫療用品等過境。
（2）我們完全同意對所有從中國內地返回香港的香港居民進行嚴格的審查和14天隔離。
（3）為分擔醫院管理局同事的工作量，我們私人執業的會員已準備好以一切可行的方式來幫助抗禦香港的新型冠狀病毒肺炎。
（4）我們促請政府與醫療用品供應商保持聯繫，以維持向社區提供足夠的個人防護裝備(PPE)例如口罩，特別是前線醫護人員(包括公共部門和私人執業）。
作為醫生，我們希望能提供專家意見，以幫助香港政府渡過這個困難時期。
有關查詢，請致電6073 3664或Whatsapp 9013 6478 聯絡香港西醫工會會長楊超發醫生。

Press Release of Hong Kong Doctors Union on
Novel Coronavirus Infection
5 February 2020
Dear Reporters,
Hong Kong Doctors Union (HKDU) is an unique trade union with doctor members in both public and private services. Registered with the Trade Union Registry to look after the interests and rights of doctors in their employer employee relationship, HKDU is committed to maintain and ensure the highest standard of the primary healthcare doctors to cater for the health of the Hong Kong community.
With the imminent threat from the N-CoV infection, HKDU would like to express our deepest concern in this current turmoil:
(1) We fully support and agree to our medical experts in Microbiology in the close down of the border to the mainlanders. We should only allow the essentials like food and medical supplies to cross the border.
(2) We are in full agreement to impose stringent scrutinisation and 14 days quarantine to all returning Hong Kong residents from the Mainland China.
(3) To shoulder the workload of the colleagues in the Hospital Authority, our members in private practice are ready to help in whatever means feasible to combat the Novel Coronavirus endemic in Hong Kong.
(4) We urge the Government to liaise with the medical suppliers to maintain and provide an adequate supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including face masks to the community and in particular the frontline healthcare workers (both in public and private practice).
As medical practitioners, we are eager to give expert advice to help our Government go through this difficult period.
For enquiries, please contact Dr. Yeung Chiu Fat, President, HKDU at 6073 3664 or Whatsapp at 9013 6478.
