Hong Kong Week 2026@Chengdu Features Film, Toy, and Design Exhibitions to Promote Local Culture and Creativity

CCIDA participates in Hong Kong Week 2026@Chengdu

The Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA) under the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau organised and sponsored three programmes in the Hong Kong Week 2026@Chengdu, including the film programme "Making Waves – Navigators of Hong Kong Cinema", the "Hong Kong Toy Culture and IP Exhibition", and "Vertical Labyrinth: The Enchanted Dense-scapeExhibition". All three programmes will run for nine days from today (September 5) to September 13.

Organised by the Hong Kong Brand Toy Association and sponsored by CCIDA, the "Hong Kong Toy Culture and IP Exhibition" features more than 40 Hong Kong brands and original art toys, and a range of activities aimed at fostering the cooperation between the industries in Chengdu and Hong Kong. Seven Hong Kong original art toy designers have drawn on their own intellectual properties to create new exhibits that incorporate diverse kung fu elements, demonstrating the infinite creativity and potential for cross-disciplinary collaboration of Hong Kong design.

Also held on the same day was the opening ceremony of the "Making Waves - Navigators of Hong Kong Cinema", a film programme organised by CCIDA, co-organised by the Broadway Cinematheque and supported by the Hong Kong Film Archive of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD). Centered around the theme of "Sports and Passion", the programme features nine Hong Kong films at two cinema complexes in Chengdu.

Another programme sponsored by CCIDA, the "Vertical Labyrinth: The Enchanted Dense-scapeExhibition", is organised by the Hong Kong Interior Design Association. The Exhibition features around 30 pieces of award winning Hong Kong furniture works, showcasing the unique aesthetic that blends Chinese and Western elements.

Organised by the LCSD, the Hong Kong Week 2026@Chengdu presents about 60 performances and events from September 4 to 20 in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. For more information on the programmes, please visit www.hongkongweek.gov.hk.

CHP investigates cluster of Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae carrier cases

The Centre for Health Protection (CHP) of the Department of Health is today (October 9) investigating a cluster of Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) carrier cases involving three residents of a residential care home for the elderly (RCHE).

The CHP recently received a notification from the Hospital Authority (HA) that two residents living on the same floor of an RCHE in North Point had been admitted to a public hospital for treatment due to their underlying illnesses. Their admission screening samples tested positive for CPE upon laboratory testing and they were suspected to have been infected in the RCHE. The CHP immediately conducted epidemiological investigations, contact tracing as well as screenings, and subsequently identified one more infection case in the same RCHE. All three patients (two males and one female, aged between 74 and 94) are carriers. None of them exhibited symptoms associated with CPE infection. They are currently in stable condition.

The CHP's further investigation revealed that the source of infection for the aforementioned three carrier cases may have been two other previously identified CPE carrier cases on the same floor of the same RCHE. After inspecting the RCHE, CHP staff discovered that the RCHE had not implemented relevant infection prevention and control measures. The bacteria were highly likely to have been transmitted within the RCHE via staff, or contaminated environment and objects. The CHP reminded the staff of the RCHE to adhere to the guidelines and take necessary measures, including enhancing hand hygiene among staff and residents, and thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the environment and objects. The CHP also recommended that the RCHE cohort the carriers in a single designated area.

The CHP will continue to investigate the cluster of cases and conduct screening at the RCHE concerned to determine whether there are any other CPE-carriers. The CHP will also continue to put the RCHE under medical surveillance.

Enterobacteriaceae (such as Escherichia coli andKlebsiella) are common pathogens that can cause infections in various parts of the body, including urinary tract infections, intra-abdominal infections or blood infection. CPE are enterobacteriaceae that produce carbapenemase, an enzyme that can deactivate carbapenems and other beta-lactam antibiotics such as penicillins. These bacteria are commonly resistant to multiple antibiotics, limiting therapeutic options, and may render severe clinical infections difficult to treat. The range of diseases associated with CPE varies from asymptomatic carriage to potentially life-threatening or fatal infections. The level of risk depends on which part of the body is affected by the infection and the patient's general health.

The proper use of antibiotics and maintaining good personal and environmental hygiene, especially hand hygiene, are important for preventing the emergence and cross-transmission of multi-drug resistant organisms (MDROs), such as CPE. In addition, susceptible individuals such as the elderly, infants, young children, people with weakened immunity and pregnant women can reduce their risk of contracting MDROs by avoiding raw or undercooked foods.
