A number of members of the Yau Tsim Mong District initiated a petition outside the West Kowloon High Speed Rail Station today (23), asking the government to close West Kowloon Station as soon as possible, while taking decisive defense measures.
District Council Chairman Lin Jianwen said that the epidemic of the epidemic in Wuhan was representative of Wuhan ’s closure. He emphasized that SARS had a major impact on Hong Kong and urged the government to take decisive defense measures to avoid causing painful memories for Hong Kong citizens; the community moved forward. It was said that members of the Yau Tsim Mong District urged the government to take five measures, including health declaration, suspension of celebrations, West Kowloon Station, compulsory quarantine, and quarantine.

Community advancement Lin Zhaobin said that the Chief Secretary for Administration, Zhang Jianzong, said that the reason why high-speed rail passengers do not need to fill in health declaration forms was far-fetched, citing Zhang Jianzong's claim that the gathering of passengers would increase the chance of infection, but would allow potential patients to enter Hong Kong for germs. Lin Zhaobin believes that Hong Kong must consolidate its line of defense and ban passengers from mainland China entering Hong Kong.

Vice Chairman Yu Debao said that Democrats in the District Council document on Tuesday recommended that the government take precautionary measures against Wuhan pneumonia. In addition to planes, passengers who come to Hong Kong from high-speed rail and through buses should fill out health declaration forms, but he said the bureau responded Means no more panic. Yu Debao criticized the government for doing nothing. By that time, it was not just people who passed on people, but the government's introduction of the disease.
Yu also pointed out that the government would later be asked to convene an emergency meeting to check whether the government has suspended classes or conducted cleaning in the community.
The New Democracy League will also protest at the West Kowloon High Speed Rail Station at 4:30 pm today, demanding that the mainland's entry Hong Kong port be closed, and the high-speed rail be suspended until the mainland epidemic is under control.
