Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said that in order to effectively complete the compulsory testing as soon as possible, residents in restricted areas cannot leave the area. She said that it is undeniable that this will bring some inconvenience and impact to the citizens.
Lam Cheng pointed out that the operation as a whole was smooth, orderly, and effective. Most experts also agree with this operation.
Lam Cheng stated that Jordan’s closure of the zone started at 4 am on January 23 and ended at midnight on January 25. It took a total of 44 hours, 48 hours earlier than the original target time, a few hours earlier. At 6 pm on January 24, citizens who had already had negative results were allowed to leave the restricted area, so in fact the restricted time has been reduced to 38 hours.
Lin Zheng said that although the operation has ended, enforcement actions are still in progress, including door-to-door shooting to find out whether residents have not undergone compulsory testing. In the end, more than 200 people were found who did not undergo compulsory testing, and the authorities immediately arranged them to accept. Mandatory testing and transfer their information to the Centre for Health Protection for appropriate follow-up.
Lam Cheng said that in the operation, a total of 7,000 residents were tested and 13 confirmed cases were found, which they believed could cut off the transmission chain of the virus. She said that some of the confirmed cases had also received compulsory virus testing earlier. However, the result was negative at that time, reflecting the long incubation period of the virus.
Lam Cheng continued that actions will more or less bring convenience to the public, but she said that through the efforts of civil servants and colleagues, the goal of being people-oriented and humane has been achieved, including door-to-door shooting, and 3650 household visits. It was found that 470 households did not respond to the door, and then follow-up work was carried out. At the same time, home-based sampling of residential care homes and people with reduced mobility in the area were also provided, food packs and cleaning supplies were provided to residents, and hot meals were provided for the elderly in need Wait.
Lam Cheng summed up his experience in enclosing Jordan, saying that there are three points of experience, including the belief that this time the news was leaked prematurely, "something is unfortunate", but because more than 100 buildings were involved, more than 3,000 employees and three laboratories were mobilized. In this case, it will "shrink the area" in the future, and may only enclose a few streets or a few buildings, "break up cases to do it," and reduce the restricted time for residents to go out.
When asked whether he has sought to introduce the "Sinoma" vaccine to Hong Kong from the central government, Lam Cheng said that it is her responsibility to introduce effective vaccines for Hong Kong people, and she will do her best and is bound to do so.
