As the new crown pneumonia epidemic continues, citizens unable to travel abroad have switched to camping in the suburbs, resulting in a scene of "explosion" in the camp.

The government announced yesterday that starting from Friday (11th), the fixed penalty for violating the "Gathering Restriction Order" will be increased from 2,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan. Recently, there have been frequent reports of police stepping up patrols at various locations. Among them, the Sai Kung Wan Chai camp is being closed. A large number of uniformed police "felt search" offenders were questioned by netizens, "Catch it again? Can you wait for the money?" Some district councilors thought that in the case of increased clustering risks, "do a good job but don't do it" and advised the public not to A swarm was swarming to the suburbs.

The Fisheries and Conservation Department announced on the 13th of last month that in order to minimize public social contact, all barbecue and camping sites in country parks will continue to be closed until further notice.

All 163 barbecue sites and 41 camping sites under the department have been closed since July 15. No one is allowed to barbecue or camp in country parks, nor enter the enclosed area.

Sai Kung Wan Chai camp has always been a hot spot for camping. The tape has already been unsealed at the door. However, some citizens did not follow the instructions and openly tore off the tape and set up camp overnight. There were also stores renting the land in front of the shop as "private camps", which attracted many camps. The patronage of friends has caused the outside world to worry about another wave of "camping groups."

Some citizens uploaded photos to the FB group "Camping Fun", referring to the fact that at least a dozen uniformed police officers entered the Wan Chai camp in Sai Kung and patrolled in a row today, causing heated discussions among netizens.

Some people questioned the police's large-scale operation of "family carpet search?" or teased "Catch it again? Waiting for money?" It is estimated that the next wave will be extended to Tap Mun and Chikeng, but some people agree that the epidemic is severe. Instead of focusing on personal enjoyment, leave a message saying, "Actually, you can catch people every day, so you are so weird?" and "It's all true. It hurts the pond fish."

District Councillor: Do it well, don't do it

Sai Kung District Councillor Fang Kwok-shan described the government’s willingness to strengthen law enforcement as "doing a good job but not doing it". He pointed out that a large number of foreign domestic helpers often gather at the edge of the country parks around Tseung Kwan O without wearing masks, worrying that foreign domestic helpers will infect employers if they become infected. And his family members have repeatedly asked the police to come to the scene to persuade them, but they were ignored.

"The less gathering, the better!"

Fang Guoshan also pointed out that in the past, there were people occupying the camp in Wan Chai for a long time, and they thought that there was no epidemic. They may be relaxed and tolerant. However, the current epidemic is serious and will not deny the police to strengthen law enforcement. She also urged the public to raise awareness of epidemic prevention within 14 days and not to camp out. And strictly observe epidemic prevention measures.

Netizens have SAY:

Thomas LK: Actually, you have been able to catch people every day. Are you so weird?

Shek Ka Wing: Will you go to bury the tower gate and the red path?
