The new crown pneumonia is raging in Hong Kong. The government recently set up a "restricted area" in Jordan. The ban on footwear was lifted this evening (24th) and it is expected to be lifted at midnight.

A number of Yau Tsim Mong District Councillors received complaints from "foot-free" residents, worrying that they would be held accountable by their employers if they could not go to work for several days, and shops in the district would not be open for business, affecting their livelihoods. They were dissatisfied with the government's refusal to make compensation.

District Councillors worry about sealing the fruit column: What if the fruit is rotten?

Yau Tsim Mong District Councillor Yu Tak-po said that many residents in the "restricted areas" reported that they were worried about whether the government would block the community again, and worried that residents could not go to work and be held accountable by employers.

Cases continue to be confirmed in the Yau Ma Tei area. Xu Shuchang, an expert consultant of the Government’s Anti-epidemic Steering Committee and Chair Professor of Respiratory System of CUHK, believes that the government should study whether to lock down the area.

Yu worried that blocking the fruit bar would affect the livelihood of the stall owner. "The fruit is rotten, count?" He also pointed out that there are many homeless people in the area and questioned how the government would force street sleepers to be tested.

District Councilor Hu Suishan said that the residents of Guolan were taken aback by the research and believed that the practice lacked community support.

The government stated that it would not compensate for the closure of the district. District Councillor Li Aoran said that as the New Year approaches, citizens will go to the district to buy New Year’s goods. Many merchants have already sold goods for the New Year. However, the closure of the district prevented the merchants from doing business and caused losses. .
