Dozens of citizens gathered at Yongsheng Garden this afternoon, and opposed the proposal.

Huiming Village has two buildings, Shenghui Building and Taihui Building, which are currently not occupied. The latter is only about 30 meters away from Yongsheng Court of Yongsheng Court. If it is set up as a quarantine camp, it will be quite close to residential houses.

[19:10] Riot police officers cleared the roadblocks and called on the protesters to peacefully express their demands and then retreat. Demonstrators used iron horses and ice cream cones to block Huaming Road.

[18:33] North District Council Chairman Luo Tingde said that an interim meeting will be held on Wednesday. The Food and Health Bureau, the Department of Health and the Home Affairs Commissioner will attend the meeting. The Home Affairs Commissioner promises that no other isolation camp preparations will be made before the meeting. He urged the authorities to publicly explain the incident to District Councils and residents. He hoped that the residents would protest after the District Council meeting on the 29th. He believed that today is the second day of the new year. I hope that everyone can go home first. However, the residents present were dissatisfied and said, "I will go to help and move, and I will wait for you. Can't we start? "
[18:31] The government clarified that the Huiming Village in Fanling circulating on the Internet has become an "isolation camp", which is completely wrong. To fight the epidemic in the city, the Department of Health needs to find enough places to isolate people who are not infected but have close contact with patients, and provide accommodation for medical staff. Fanling Huiming Village is an unoccupied public housing estate. The Department of Health will modify it for emergencies. There are currently no plans to use it.

[18:04] More than a hundred people gathered at the scene, and Luo Tingde, chairman of the North District Council, said that he contacted the Home Affairs Commissioner this morning to ask the authorities to explain and follow up the incident, but so far he has not received a positive response. He said that some residents were very angry after seeing the government move the supplies into Huiming Village, and believed that only the government responded to the two major demands, including suspending all arrangements in Huiming Village and sending someone to explain the incident, before residents could leave.
[17:48] Northern District Councilor Lin Shujing said that the government never mentioned the Huiming Village to the District Council before the press conference at 4.30 yesterday. The district council also knew the incident through the press conference. Government vehicles transported materials into Huiming Village, and the district council immediately learned from the Civil Affairs Commissioner of the Civil Affairs Department before confirming that Zhengyun was put in, and I believe that the preliminary work is being carried out. Although the Huiming Village security officer said that no one had moved into Huiming Village, there were rumors that someone had moved in and the District Council hoped that the government would explain the incident as soon as possible. She went on to point out that the site was a densely populated area, and once it broke out, it was believed that the situation was serious. She also mentioned that the deaths were mainly elderly and long-term patients, and there were many elderly people in the community who expressed their concerns. More than 14,000 people have signed off against the division of Huiming Village as a quarantine camp. Regarding if the government does not respond, there will be no further action in the district. She said that there is still no plan and only hopes to resolve the incident. Where do you choose? ''

[17:17] There is a middle school less than 100 meters away from Huiming Village, and a community building and kindergarten 500 meters away. At the same time, there is Yongsheng Pavilion in front of Huiming Village. Residents worry that isolation camps are close to residential buildings, which can easily lead to a large outbreak in the community.
[17:10] At present, about 100 people gather in Huiming Village, Fanling. People in black are blocking the road with water horses and debris. Some residents said that they saw a medical supply vehicle entering the village in the afternoon, and were dissatisfied with the government's decision without consultation.

[16:50] Residents set up roadblocks at the entrance of Huiming Village.
[16:40] The district councilors at the scene stated that they had confirmed that the HD had accepted the Huiming Village site and the vehicles had transported materials related to the isolation camp into the village. District councillors have written to the authorities to express their opposition, and are currently waiting for authorities to be present to interview the residents.
[16﹕37] The district councillors present expressed that the dissatisfied Huiming Village was classified as a quarantine camp because there are community centers and schools nearby, which are densely populated areas, and they are worried that a community outbreak will occur. Nearly a hundred people gathered at the scene.
