Circulation Paper C&W BEHWC Paper No.62/2020 Food and Environmental Hygiene Department Anti-mosquito Campaign 2020 (Phase III) in Central & Western District Purpose To brief Members on the arrangements and details for the Anti-mosquito Campaign 2020 (Phase III) to be launched by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) in Central & Western District. Background 2. The Anti-mosquito Campaign 2020 (Phase II) organized by FEHD was launched between 20.4.2020 and 19.6.2020. Actions taken in the district and the results are detailed at Annex I. 3. In 2019, there were 1 local and 197 imported dengue fever cases; 11 imported chikungunya fever cases; 1 local and 2 imported Japanese encephalitis cases in Hong Kong. No Zika virus infection case were reported. 4. Dengue fever (DF) is an important mosquito-borne disease with public health concern worldwide, especially in the tropics and sub-tropics. The dengue viruses encompass four different serotypes. Dengue infection has a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations and outcomes. The disease is usually mild and self-limiting, but subsequent infections with other serotypes of dengue virus are more likely to result in severe dengue, which can be fatal. DF is not directly transmitted from person to person. It is transmitted to humans through the bites of infective female Aedes mosquitoes. Patients with DF are infective to mosquitoes during the febrile period. When a patient suffering from DF is bitten by a vector mosquito, the mosquito is infected and it may spread the disease by biting other people. DF can spread rapidly in - 1 - densely populated areas that are infested with the vectors Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus.

Les Bons Plans Et Les Bonnes Adresses De Votre Quartier ______
LES BONS PLANS ET LES BONNES ADRESSES DE VOTRE QUARTIER __________________________________________ Description du QUARTIER « Sai Ying Pun » Situé à l'Ouest de l'île de Hong Kong et de la ligne bleue du métro Kennedy Town – Chai Wan, la zone Sai Ying Pun/ HKU/ Kennedy Town se compose principalement de grandes tours et d'immeubles de quelques étages. Ce quartier qui attire expatriés comme locaux, bénéficie d'un environnement verdoyant et de belles vues sur la mer. La prolongation de la ligne de métro en Décembre 2014 a permis l'ouverture de 3 nouvelles stations : Sai Ying Pun, HKU et Kennedy Town. Il est donc très facile désormais de se déplacer depuis ces zones-là. En revanche avec cette nouvelle offre de transport les loyers ont évidemment un peu augmentés. Selon où vous décidez de vous installer, vous pourrez peut-être même monter directement à pied depuis chez vous jusqu'au Victoria Peak par de verdoyants sentiers. La plage la plus proche est celle de Deep Water Bay et l'accès à Ocean Park est très facile. Le quartier de Sai Ying Pun a cette particularité d’être situé entre la zone pavillonnaire de Pok Fu Lam et les quartiers dynamiques de Sheung Wan / Central à seulement 20-25 min à pied. En moins de 15 min, on peut flâner dans le quartier arty montant de la rue Tai Ping Shan et du PMQ. Ce quartier est également célèbre pour ses commerces de poissons et fruits de mer séchés servant à la médecine chinoise. Quelques liens utiles pour la communauté de QUARTIER : http://www.littlestepsasia.com/hong-kong/articles/play/kennedy-town-guide Le site internet localhood : le but étant de connecter le voisinage et de créer un réseau d’entre-aide.

Food and Environmental Hygiene Department Anti-Mosquito Campaign 2018 (Phase III) in Central / Western District
Circulation Paper C & W FEHWC Paper No. 62/2018 Food and Environmental Hygiene Department Anti-mosquito Campaign 2018 (Phase III) in Central / Western District Purpose To brief Members on the arrangements and details for the Anti-mosquito Campaign 2018 (Phase III) to be launched by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) in Central / Western District. Background 2. The Anti-mosquito Campaign 2018 (Phase II) organized by FEHD was launched between 23.4.2018 and 29.6.2018. Actions taken in the district and the results are detailed at Annex I. 3. In 2017, there were one local and 101 imported dengue fever cases, one imported Zika virus infection cases, five local Japanese encephalitis cases and one imported chikungunya fever case in Hong Kong. 4. Japanese encephalitis is a mosquito-borne disease and the Japanese encephalitis virus is transmitted by the bite of infected mosquitoes. The principal vector is called Culex tritaeniorhynchus. Japanese encephalitis mainly occurs in rural and agricultural areas of Asia and the Western Pacific. The mosquitoes breed where there is abundant water such as rice paddies and become infected by feeding on pigs and wild birds infected with the Japanese encephalitis virus. The infected mosquito transmits the Japanese encephalitis virus to humans and animals during biting. Regarding the above-mentioned five local Japanese encephalitis cases, two of those cases together with the - 1 - blood donor of the first reported case of Japanese encephalitis transmitted through blood transfusion were resided in Tin Shui Wai. In response to this, FEHD and relevant departments had already strengthened mosquito prevention and control work in the areas, including conducting joint visits with staff of the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department to the neighboring pig farms and providing technical assistance on mosquito prevention and control to the pig farmers with a view to reducing the chance of the public to contact Japanese encephalitis.

This report characterized Sai Ying Pun‘s markets as public spaces throughout urban development.
