Today (January 23) is the first anniversary of the announcement of the first confirmed case of new coronary pneumonia in Hong Kong. As of early this morning, 81 new cases were confirmed in a single day, of which 3 were imported, and 35 of the 78 local cases were unoriginated; about 70 were initially confirmed Zong.

In the first anniversary of the fight against the epidemic, the cumulative number of infections in Hong Kong exceeded 10,000, reaching 10,010.

This morning (23rd) at 4 am the authorities cordoned off some areas of the "Temple Street Epidemic Area" in Jordan’s designated area. Residents who have not tested negative for the virus are prohibited from leaving. Disciplinary personnel will come to "wash the building" to register. Residents who are tested must go to the test today. The test is expected to be completed within 48 hours, and it is expected to be released in the morning of Monday (25th).

The government said that about 10,000 people are affected. There are 51 mobile testing stations on site, and hand straps will be issued for identification.

[22:00] Jordan closed the area. After nightfall, the inspection station was closed, and the streets were even more deserted, leaving only staff in full equipment patrolling the streets.

Even outside the cordoned area, it is also sparsely populated. On weekdays, Nathan Road is bustling with only a few shops open at night, and occasionally only three or four passersby pass by, making the area around Jordan in Yau Ma Tei like a "dead city."

Starting at 4 a.m. on January 23, parts of Jordan’s affected areas were closed for testing, ranging from east to Wusong Street, south to Nanjing Street, west to Paotai Street, and north to Gansu Street for 48 hours.

Diagnosed over 10,000 | Epidemic prevention measures are tightened at least after the 9th day of the outbreak, and the speed of control of the epidemic slows down

[21:30] "Hong Kong 01" compares the second to fourth wave of epidemics in Hong Kong, and found that after each outbreak, the Hong Kong government tightens relevant epidemic prevention measures, which will lag 9 to 21 days.

In addition, after the tightening of the measures, it took longer and longer for the epidemic to be brought under control. The fourth wave of the epidemic has been erupting for a long time since mid-November, and the 7-day average number of confirmed cases has remained at the level of more than 50 cases.

[20:40] Hongkong Post said today that a civilian was initially diagnosed and is currently receiving treatment in the hospital.

The civilian staff worked on the first floor of the Air Mail Center, which did not handle mail.

He is responsible for clerical work and does not need to contact the mail or the public, and his workplace is not open to the public.

The last time the employee went to work was January 20. He felt unwell that night and went to a private doctor for consultation. On the 20th, he went to a government clinic again and received a virus test. He was notified by the Health Protection Center this morning of the initial diagnosis.

He had a body temperature check during work, and his body temperature was normal, and he always wore a mask at work.

[17:30] The "Hong Kong 01" interview team stayed behind in the Jordan Blockade for interviews. The test was completed this morning, and the reporter received negative reports in the afternoon.

Jordan Closed Area | District Councillor takes 40 merchants to ask for help

[17:40] Several democratic district councillors from Yau Tsim Mong met with reporters.

Lin Jianwen, chairman of the Yau Tsim Mong District Council, questioned the authorities' target of completing a test of 10,000 people within two days. If the target cannot be met, the authorities could not answer whether the lockdown should be extended.

Yu Debao, the vice chairman of the district council, said that many residents have received complaints that they have nowhere to ask for help, that supplies are not in place after being banned, and there is no subsidy plan.

Yau Tsim Mong District Councillor, Li Aoran, also received help from merchants. He did not know when the shop could be opened. He also criticized the authorities for restricting the people's personal freedom. The laws cited had not been reviewed by the Parliament and bypassed the people's authorization.

[17:00] Chief of Police Deng Bingqiang visited the restricted area and did not answer media questions.

[16:45] One year of fighting the epidemic, Zhang Zhujun, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Health Protection Center, pointed out that the fight against the epidemic throughout the year was not easy for everyone, not only in Hong Kong, but also in the whole world. Many unprecedented measures were used.

Everyone has experienced an unprecedented situation on the left, and they have never thought of stopping the plane or closing customs before.

Learning in the fight against the epidemic is very rare for everyone. Hong Kong people wear masks and are very self-disciplined in all aspects.

Six additional buildings are subject to mandatory inspection, including Wan Chai Star Moon Court, To Kwa Wan Yi Man Building and Yau Ma Tei Shun Feng Building

Yesterday, Block 3, Grandiose Bay in Tseung Kwan O, which was included in the mandatory testing building, will be removed because the Center for Health Protection made a mistake in the addresses of confirmed residents.

Earlier, the Chang'an Elderly Care Center was evacuated to the quarantine center, and a resident was diagnosed with it, which may have hidden transmission.

No. 5 Wusong Street sewage and drainage continued to be positive. No case was found before. One new person was diagnosed today.

[09:20] The Director of the Environment Bureau, Huang Jinxing, said that a few months ago, he had cooperated with various departments and the University of Hong Kong to monitor the sewage situation of housing estates and to provide early warning to find invisible patients.

He said that 90% of sewage monitoring points within the closed area were positive.

[09:16] The Director of the Food and Health Bureau, Chen Zhaoshi, said that testing will be accepted throughout the day until 12:00 midnight.

[08:33] At around 8 am, the Secretary for the Environment Huang Jinxing and the Secretary for Food and Health Chen Zhaoshi successively arrived in Jordan and entered the designated detection area of ​​the "closed area".

Many police officers were stationed at the scene.

A staff member of a food stall said that because the goods were ordered early in the morning, the notice of the closure was suddenly announced. Due to the failure to cancel in time, the material loss reached 10,000 yuan; there were also shop owners who said they could not pick up the cat in time and worried that it was in the shop. No one took care of him within 2 days.

Mr. Zhou, who works on the site, felt abruptly about the arrangement of the closed area, and was also angry at the government's failure to notify in advance, so that the grassroots wage earners were unable to make corresponding work arrangements for the closed area.

[08:20] The Director of the Environment Bureau, Huang Jinxing, arrives at the designated area of ​​Jordan for inspection.

The government will set up temporary sampling stations in the "restricted areas" and require people to be tested before midnight today (23).

Subjects will be arranged in batches to undergo nucleic acid testing at sampling stations, where throat and nasal cavity swabs will be used for sampling.

Before all persons have test results, the persons under inspection must stay in the premises to reduce the risk of cross-infection.

The government will arrange for people with mobility impairments and the elderly, including residents of elderly homes in the district, to conduct home sampling, or arrange for them to collect and submit deep throat saliva samples by themselves.

The government stated that it understands that this arrangement will cause inconvenience to the public, and has arranged sufficient testing resources to conduct testing for all persons under inspection in the restricted area as soon as possible. The goal is to complete the operation within about 48 hours and serve all identified persons. The inspector completes the test and confirms the result, in the hope that citizens can start work at around 6 am next Monday (25th).

When the "relevant announcement" is formally revoked, the government will make a separate announcement; if an employee is unable to go to work due to the announcement, the government hopes that employers can deal with it at their discretion and not deduct their salaries and benefits.
