     The Leisure and Cultural Services Department has announced that the lifesaving service at Clear Water Bay Second Beach in Sai Kung District resumed today (June 2). The lifesaving service at the beach was suspended earlier due to an insufficient number of lifeguards on duty.

     The Centre for Health Protection (CHP) of the Department of Health is today (June 1) investigating two suspected food poisoning clusters affecting four persons, and reminded the public to maintain personal, food and environmental hygiene to prevent food-borne diseases.

     The first cluster involved two males aged 39 to 57, who developed abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea about 16 to 19 hours after having dinner at a restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui on May 30.

     Another cluster involved one male and one female, both aged 35, who developed similar symptoms about 23 to 24 hours after having dinner at the same restaurant on the same day.

     All of the affected persons sought medical advice and two of them were admitted for further management. All affected persons are in a stable condition.

    "We have alerted the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department to the incident and investigations are ongoing," a spokesman for the CHP said.

     To prevent food-borne diseases, members of the public are reminded to maintain personal, food and environmental hygiene at all times. When dining out:
 

• Patronise only reliable and licensed restaurants;
• Avoid eating raw seafood;
• Be a discerning consumer in choosing cold dishes, including sashimi, sushi and raw oysters, at a buffet;
• Ensure food is thoroughly cooked before eating during a hot pot or barbecue meal;
• Handle raw and cooked foods carefully and separate them completely during the cooking process;
• Use two sets of chopsticks and utensils to handle raw and cooked food;
• Do not patronise illegal food hawkers;
• Drink boiled water;
• Do not try to use salt, vinegar, wine and wasabi to kill bacteria as they are not effective; and
• Always wash hands before eating and after going to the toilet.
