She hoped that the authorities could arrange the entire area involved. Mandatory testing to ensure safety.
Another citizen living in Sham Shui Po, Mr. Liu, said that he lived in an old building and noticed the outbreak of an outbreak of Chinese buildings in the newly reclaimed street. He was worried that the pipe connection problem would increase the risk of transmission.
He said that even if no residents of the building where he lives are infected, the windows will be closed when he is at home to reduce the risk of infection.
Liu also agrees that the government should target buildings along the newly reclaimed street where the epidemic has exploded. If there is an infection, a mandatory inspection order should be issued.
Neighbors with poor awareness of epidemic prevention do not wear masks to chat
Mr. Liu, a resident of Tai Kok Tsui, said that his family will be tested every 21 days to protect themselves and the community.

Liu suggested that the government should continue to strengthen publicity and raise the citizens' personal awareness of epidemic prevention, otherwise even if regional compulsory testing is arranged, it will not help.
