The new crown pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong continues. The government has set up a "restricted area" in Jordan. Residents in the area must be tested for the virus. As there are many ethnic minorities who do not speak Chinese and English in the area, the Correctional Services Department dispatched more than a dozen non-governmental organizations. Chinese personnel assisted in the operation.
The Indian correctional officer Cheema Parminderjit Singh, also known as "Sesame Boy", speaks five languages. He is responsible for going upstairs to shoot doors and arranging ethnic minority residents to go for testing. During this period, he encountered emotional villages. "When you hear a familiar language, Explain clearly, he feels at ease.” ThapaTak Bahadur, a Nepalese correctional officer who once lived in Jordan, has no feelings about returning to the "old place" this time. He hopes to help his fellow villagers and the community.
Indian correctional father and son soldiers dispatched to appease fellow villagers
Cheema Parminderjit Singh, a second-level correctional assistant, is stationed at the Lai Chi Kok Reception Centre and belongs to the security team.
He and his retired former correctional officer father "father and son soldier" participated in the operation.
He pointed out that most of the non-Chinese people in the area do not know the situation, and do not understand Chinese and English, and feel disgusted with the trapped house. However, when they hear the explanation in the familiar language, most of them feel relieved and follow the instructions to fall down for testing.
The most memorable time for "Zesamese" was when he went to an ethnic minority family to shoot the door. Since only half of the family members completed the test at that time, one of them was impatient and yelled at the staff. He explained patiently that in fact, half of the family members had to be tested. , To resolve the embarrassment.
Another Indian colleague found a pregnant woman when she came to the house. Because she did not understand Chinese and English, she was panicked and did not dare to go out. After coordination with her colleague, she was finally arranged for a home test.
Sesame Seed: People in the whole world have only one chance to serve the society
"Zesamese" said that it has assisted more than 20 families in two days. "People in the world only have one chance to serve the society, so I immediately say yes. If there is another, I will do it next time."
Regarding the opinions in the district targeting South Asians, he questioned the lack of awareness of hygiene. He believed that different people had different ideas. He emphasized that not all of the fellow villagers were targeted, and many fellow villagers would wear masks to pay attention to hygiene. I believe Hong Kong people will understand.

The Nepalese correctional officer returned to his former residence: the neighbours reacted positively when they saw me
ThapaTak Bahadur, a second-level correctional assistant, is responsible for guarding the entrance and exit of the building and explaining the situation to the residents. He lived in the "closed zone" in his early years. Many of his fellow villagers feel at ease with him. "It is rare to have the opportunity to return to the place where I used to live to help. Everyone raised their hands immediately, and wanted to help my fellow villagers, and if the neighborhood saw me, the reaction was so positive."
Xia said that some fellow villagers were dissatisfied that the test had been completed earlier, but this time they had to do the test again and were trapped in the house. He was puzzled. After he was shocked and explained, the fellow villagers were relieved, "(Qu哋) Seeing his hometown and language It will be comfortable."

Xia Laide also said that his family members were worried when they learned that he was going to work in the district. However, there are hospital professionals from the Correctional Services Department to assist in wearing protective clothing and adequate equipment. I believe the problem is not serious.
However, I haven't seen my family in the past two days. Xia said frankly: "It's good to hang on, but it's worth it."
The five disciplined forces mobilized 3,000 people to carry out the lockdown operation.
The Correctional Services Department sent a total of more than 230 correctional officers to participate, including more than a dozen non-Chinese staff from Thailand, Nepal, India and Pakistan, to arrange to assist residents in testing.
The Correctional Services Department will arrange staff to work from home in the future, and will be tested for the virus. A negative report is required to return to work.
