The "restricted area" in Jordan was unblocked early this morning (25th). The "blocked area" for two days suffered heavy losses for merchants.

Yu Debao, vice chairman of the Yau Tsim Mong District Council and the Civic Party, said today that on the first day of the business’s reopening, he sought help from about 30 restaurants and retailers in a short period of time. Each household lost an average of 20,000 yuan, of which the most loss was one takeaway restaurant. , A total loss of 60,000 turnover.

Regarding Chief Secretary for Administration Zhang Jianzong’s statement yesterday that he “has no compensation”, Yu Debao said that after collecting requests from merchants, they will ask the government to compensate the affected merchants in cash of 20,000 yuan, or to compensate the merchants for half of the loss, and demand Zhang Jianzong Meet with merchants.

Alleged that the appeal is reasonable

Yu Debao pointed out that the government closed the area for 44 hours for the first time, used 3,000 manpower and material resources to test 7,000 people, and finally found 13 confirmed cases. He believes that the confirmed number reflects the very low results of the test, which is laborious and harassing the people. Among them, merchants in restricted areas lost heavily.

Yu Debao pointed out that on the first day after Jordan was unblocked, about 30 restaurants and retailers had asked for help in a short period of time. They said that they lost about 500,000 yuan in the two days after the closure of the area, with an average loss of 20,000 yuan per household. A takeaway restaurant lost 60,000 yuan in business, and the least loss was a grocery store, which lost about 4,000 yuan.

Yu Debao said that after collecting requests from merchants, they will ask the government to compensate the affected merchants in cash of 20,000 yuan, or half of the loss to the merchants, and ask the Chief Secretary for Administration Zhang Jianzong to meet with the merchants.

He emphasized that the appeal is reasonable and reasonable. "This appeal is not a lion's mouthful, but just a reasonable appeal." "For the government to say that there is no compensation, it is really cold-blooded and indifferent. It is clear that merchants can reduce losses, but the government has not announced before closing the area. The merchants have caused them heavy losses. Moreover, the economic impact will not only last two days, but will also affect the economy of Jordan in the future. The government is absolutely duty-bound."

After inspecting the restricted area in Yau Ma Tei, Chief Secretary for Administration Zhang Jianzong (middle) said that he is confident that the seal will be released at 6 am on Monday (25th) and citizens can go to work normally.

Zhang Jianzong said yesterday that "no compensation"

Zhang Jianzong was asked yesterday if he could unblock the seal earlier and compensate the affected merchants. He admitted at the time that it caused inconvenience to the merchants, but there would be no compensation. I hope everyone will understand, "It must cause the inconvenience to the merchants, but there is no compensation. Clearly, the 13 closed industries are all token subsidies, and we try our best to help."
