Information released by the Health Department and reported in local Chinese media is such that a receptionist working for a massage parlour in Han Hing Mansion has tested positive with confirmation.
In my knowledge there are only two massage parlours in that building,
Imperial Spa being one.
It seemed that Imperial Spa had always had a regular receptionist at the
counter. At some time in the past, the other spa, namely Joyful (the Chinese name being transliterated into 'ruyi') Spa, seemed to have a lady
(possibly the proprietor herself) receiving incoming punters as well, at least
when need be, if not regularly. That was when I used to visit it, but I don't
know how things had been recently with this other spa.
Therefore, apparently the infected person in question could be from either
spa, but as of late hearsay I have gathered (from another local forum) but cannot really vouch for seems to point to Imperia Spa. Hence 'reportedly' used in my previous post.
Well, at the end of the day, given that official info specifies precisely
that building, it is still possible that the infected lady was actually a massage
girl rather than an employee working at the counter. In that case she would
have wanted to dampen the scare by claiming the latter, which presumably
would have involved greater social distancing from and much briefer and less intimate contact with customers. But then this would have 'shifted the dirt' to
a colleague if there was still a receptionist in service at the time of the official report released just last Friday (the same day bro dryice called Candy?)
Therefore, presuming that the infected lady will not come forward and
identify herself, nor will the spa concerned take the initiative and make a
statement to the effect that there has been an infected case involving one of
their staff, there seems no knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt who got
infected, unless you are in their confidence. For that matter, bro dryice's
further elicitation on the matter, if possible, would be appreciated and any
clarification on behalf of Imperial Spa would be respectfully received by me,
even if it contradicts the hearsay I have reported above.
