There are 23 infected buildings near Yau Ma Tei Fruit Lan, involving about 70 confirmed cases. Experts have suggested earlier that the government should study whether it is necessary to lock down the area around Yau Ma Tei Fruit Lan.
The Secretary for Food and Health, Chen Zhaoshi, also said that he would study which test method is most effective.
Vendors in the fruit column said that the Lunar New Year approach will bring about two-thirds more goods than usual. The related goods have also arrived in Hong Kong by ship. It is difficult to cancel orders, involving more than one million yuan. If the area is closed, the loss is difficult to estimate.
Some vendors also said that the fruit's fresh-keeping period is short, and if the goods become bad for two days in the closed area, they may be sold at a low price.
The fruit bar vendor opened as usual today, with a large amount of fruit in the store.
The streets in Guolan are also clean, and there is not much rubbish on the ground.
Ms. You, the third-generation leader of the Yau Ma Tei fruit market, believes that if the fruit market is blocked, it will have a great impact on the market business. "When you hear the news, most of the market business will be surprised and will be cautious when buying goods. "But she believes that only one or two days will be affected. Fruit prices should not be increased immediately. However, the fruit stalls are available to all of Hong Kong, and I believe that the supply of fruits in all markets in Hong Kong will be affected.
Vendor: I hope the government will notify you soon
You said that if the fruit bar is to be sealed, he hopes that the government will notify them as soon as possible to try to reduce the purchase or sell the existing goods earlier to reduce losses.
She pointed out that the loss is difficult to calculate, at least more than 100,000 yuan. "And when a family buys a box of cherries, it’s about a few hundred mosquitoes. If the cherries are really exposed to the sun for two more days, we may change it. Sell it at a low price."

Mr. Zhu, the person in charge of the other business and Fusheng Market, also pointed out that the Chinese New Year is approaching the "peak season" of the fruit market, with two-thirds more purchases than in the past. It is difficult to estimate how much loss will be caused if the fruit market is closed.
He pointed out that the arrival of the goods must be ordered in the United States and Europe in advance, and the shipping schedule will take more than 20 days. "But the house (fruit) arrives by the sea, and the float is tight." The order cannot be cancelled.
He believes that the fruit stalls are well hygienic. The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department came to wash the ground twice a week. The stall dealers were very cooperative. He also pointed out that the fruit stalls had not heard of any employees who were diagnosed and they were unoccupied. It's sealed, so many people at Flower Market will answer the question or not? The supermarket will answer it or not?"
Mr. Zhu, the person in charge of Fusheng Market, believes that the fruit market has taken adequate measures and does not need to be closed.
Because the Lunar New Year purchases are 3 points 2 more, the order cannot be cancelled, and the material sealing area has a big impact.
