Shui Shui Po District Councillor Wei Huannan said that after learning that a squash centre staff was diagnosed this morning, he immediately notified the LCSD to send staff to the district for cleaning, and requested the Nanchang Village Estate Management Office to strengthen cleaning and disinfection. Wei Huannan said that the squash court usage rate is usually not high, but from time to time the elderly in the area sigh in the center, especially in the recent hot weather. In addition, nearby street sleepers will also use the toilets in the center. Wei Huannan said that many neighborhoods expressed concern that they were afraid of the outbreak in the community, and hoped that the government would strengthen the cleanliness of housing estates to reassure residents.

Residents of nearby Nanchang Village expressed concern about the diagnosis of new coronary pneumonia in the community. Mr. Liao, a villager, said that wearing a mask is the most basic. When you return home, you will change all the clothes out of the street and wash them on the same day. Mr. Liao said that although he rarely goes to the squash center, he is worried about the street sleepers in the park. Because they often come and go to the squash court, "Qu Dao will go in and use the bathroom, take a shower, and walk around. It's a worry." Mr. Liao believes that at present, the general population is wearing masks, and the awareness of epidemic prevention is considered good. However, the government's epidemic prevention measures are not timely. If there is a community outbreak, we should immediately follow the previous practice, stop opening recreational facilities and tighten the restraint order again.

Miss Chen, who opened the shop at the Jade Center, said that after the shop was opened this morning, she was informed that someone nearby was diagnosed. "The terrier is shocking, and I don't know how to deal with it." She said that she would stop business in the next few days, "avoid."

This afternoon, the reporter inspected the area around Tongzhou Street Park. A cleaning worker was washing the floor. Some workers revealed that bleach was added to the water for disinfection. However, the reporter found that about 10 street sleepers gathered in the corner of the park, most of them did not wear masks and were lying and resting in the corner.

As for why street sleepers do not wear masks, Wu Weidong, the director of the Hong Kong Community Organization Association, said that street sleepers are homeless on the street for 24 hours, which means that it is very hard for them to wear masks for 24 hours. In addition, compared with the virus, street sleepers are more worried about "no meals" and thieves, but the society associations continue to urge street sleepers to wear masks.

Wu Weidong also pointed out that there are no other places for street sleepers in Tongzhou Street Park. If residents worry that street sleepers will be infected, the government should distribute sample bottles to street sleepers to collect deep-throat saliva for testing. "The government is not fast enough. If the true department is infected, it is useless to rush to leave."
