It should also extend the testing period by three more days and extend the daily service hours of testing contractors.

He also said that there are many sub-districts in the district, and there may be problems with the connection of the pipes. He hopes that the government will send people to inspect the situation as soon as possible. If necessary, it should consider evacuating residents to the quarantine center, otherwise there will be a risk of infection if they stay at home.

He also believes that Sham Shui Po and To Kwa Wan districts have many sub-districts and the buildings are close to each other. If the government can provide more testing in these areas, the residents can also be at ease.
