Huang Yi, a member of the Xinghua Village District, said that it was only known that Liyumen would be used as a quarantine center, but he did not know that a modular house would be added as a quarantine unit. It was not known until the government announced. She criticized the government for not consulting the district council beforehand, and for not explaining and revealing how many modular housing isolation units will be set up. For more than 300 modular housing quarantine units, she is concerned about excessively dense quarantine centers. The scope of activities is not regulated, and there is a chance of mutual infection, which threatens the neighbouring communities. To allay public concerns, Mr WONG urged the government to announce details of how the waste in the quarantine centre will be handled and how to place quarantined people in order to increase transparency.
