    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.

  • Progress Report on Urban Renewal Authority's Projects in Central
    For discussion C&W DC Paper No. 24/2016 1st Meeting of the Central and Western District Council Progress Report on Urban Renewal Authority’s Projects in Central & Western District H18 Peel Street / Graham Street Redevelopment Scheme H18 Site B Progress • In order to maintain the vibrancy of the market, the Authority has proposed to implement the H18 Project in two phases. In response to stakeholders’ requests under the “Local Fresh Food Shop Arrangement” (LFFSA), a Market Block with 12 shops will be provided at Site B as a first phase development, which would facilitate the participants of LFFSA to continue operation of their businesses after completion of the Market Block. Sites A and C will be the second phase of the development. • In view of the current works progress of the Market Block, it is anticipated for completion around Q1 2016, and an inspection will be carried out after completion. On 9 December 2015, the Authority has informed the 11 participants of the LFFSA the Market Block shops’ starting bidding prices, layouts, sizes, etc. Subject to the works progress, the Authority will invite participants of the LFFSA to a site visit of the Market Block tentatively in February 2016, to provide additional information to participants before the bidding exercise of the shops begins. Details of the bidding exercise of Market Block shops will be elaborated at the C&WDC meeting. • To enhance the vibrancy of the Market, the Authority has provided assistance and facilitated the early operation of shop businesses which require the mandatory ‘Fresh Provision Shop Licence’ from the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD), including the hiring of consultants to apply for the FEHD licence at an early stage.
