The Yau Ma Tei area is counted with Waterloo Road and Dundas Street as the north-south. There are 23 infected buildings to the north of Guolan, involving 68 confirmed cases. Government expert consultant Xu Shuchang recently suggested that the government study whether the area needs to be closed.
Some residents in the district believe that the epidemic in the district is indeed serious and that the government has no way to close the district, but hope that all tests can be completed within 24 hours.
There are also residents who have deliberately dropped off to buy food today, hoping that the government can make an announcement in advance so that they can be prepared.
The reporter observed on the spot that many of the pipes in old buildings were in poor condition and weeds were growing.
Only Pik Street in Yau Ma Tei, a total of 40 people were diagnosed.
Among them, No. 15-27 Bi Street was the hardest hit area. The reporter saw plants growing from the pipes of the building and dozens of juvenile water pipes were connected to the outer wall. It was suspected that many units were involved in refitting. A nearby merchant even described it. Tencent tenants are like the "United Nations", with multiple residents of different races.

Mrs. Yao, who lives on Bi Street, even pointed out that she saw someone getting into an ambulance near Canton Road this morning and suspected that there was another confirmed case.
She said that if there are multiple case closures, there is no way, but they will not move out.
She said that her son had asked her to buy more food reserves this morning, so she had already bought udon, vegetables, etc., but only enough to eat for one day. If it was sealed for two days, she would use other home ingredients or porridge.
She hopes that the government can notify the residents to close the area first, "I will inform you early, you know, the surprise will be troublesome, and I will suddenly be caught off guard."

Ms. Song, who lives near the Dundas Street Building, said that there were also suspected confirmed cases in the building, and there were also multiple confirmed cases in Bi Street. She believed that the "closures are reasonable", but hoped to be completed within 24 hours.
She pointed out that the environment in the area "is dirty, and there are men in the back alleys who urinate."
She thinks it is better for the government to rush to close the area, because if someone moves out after the wind is released early, like Jordan, it is equivalent to spreading the virus to other areas.
She said yesterday that Yau Ma Tei may be closed down, and supplies will be purchased in the next few days. She also hopes that when the government closes the area, it can arrange meals for the elderly living alone or those with limited mobility.
