The Lands Department today launched the 3D Visualisation Map dataset of Kowloon Central and an online application platform Open3Dhk for the public to use free of charge.   To tie in with the development of a smart city, the department started the production of a citywide 3D Visualisation Map in 2021 for release in phases. The first 3D Visualisation Map covering Kowloon East was launched in December 2022.   The Kowloon Central 3D map released today comprises around 9,500 buildings and about 210 individual models of infrastructures, including flyovers, footbridges and subways. It can be downloaded through the Common Spatial Data Infrastructure portal.   Open3Dhk, an online platform transforming a variety of spatial data into user-friendly applications which can support diverse uses by the public, the academia and professionals was also launched today.   Through the interactive functions on the platform, users can view photorealistic 3D city models of Kowloon East and Kowloon Cent

COVID-19 mutant strain case probed

(To watch the full press briefing with sign language interpretation, click here.)   The Centre for Health Protection today said it has so far quarantined more than 300 people who have been identified as close contacts, as it follows up on a foreign domestic helper infected with COVID-19 mutant strains.   At a press briefing this afternoon, the centre’s Controller Dr Ronald Lam noted that the N501Y and E484K mutant strains were involved in this case.   “For the COVID-19 case involving a 39-year-old foreign domestic helper, she had onset of symptoms on April 23. So if we count back the average incubation period, that is 14 days prior to the onset of symptoms, she mainly stayed at home to take care of a 10-month-old baby.   “During this incubation period, she mainly visited a supermarket and a market as well as went to a park with two friends. The two friends are regarded as close contacts and we have put them under quarantine.   “She also went to St Thomas the Apostle Church where she performed in a choir with an audience of over 200. Out of the 200 audience members, we have identified 89 close contacts, all of whom have been put under quarantine.    “The 10-month-old baby she took care of is also confirmed COVID-19 positive with the same mutant strain as her case.”   The baby’s parents have tested negative for the virus, Dr Lam added.
