The Hong Kong government has enclosed Jordan for two days without precedent, and more than 10,000 residents "banned feet" for compulsory testing. Sham Shui Po was previously designated by the government for testing. The number of confirmed cases has continued to increase recently, making the news of the closure of the area not gone.

The reporter was patrolling in Sham Shui Po today (25th). The busy Alia Street and Fuk Wah Street were not crowded and the crowds were not there. Many businesses said that their business was drastically reduced and they seemed helpless to the rumors that the area was closed.

In addition to vendors worrying about accidents, others in the district are also worried.

Mr. Cen, a street sleeper in Tongzhou Street Park, said that there are always 40 to 50 street sleepers in the park. They will go out to make a living, and there are also disabled people in wheelchairs who have been relying on social workers and neighborhoods to help them. Get by.

He said that he was worried after seeing the situation of the closed area in Yau Ma Tei. He believed that if Sham Shui Po was also closed, street sleepers might even have problems eating. “They don’t even have to cook.” He is even more worried that some street sleepers are addicted. Gentleman, the original "underground order" after the closure of the area may be a mess.

Tongzhou Street Park has always been a gathering place for street sleepers in Sham Shui Po.

In the afternoon, more than 20 street sleepers had gathered under the corridor. The ground was full of beds and bedding. Many street sleepers were eating food packages provided by others.

Mr. Cen of 45 has been sleeping in the Tongzhou Street Park for two or three years. He revealed that after nightfall, there are about 40-50 people sleeping here.

He usually relies on "fried" to feed food and do some cleaning work. At present, his scope of work is not in the Sham Shui Po area.

Regarding the rumors of the closed area, he sighed again and again, "Worry, especially when I see the situation in Yau Ma Tei, if it is all closed, I don't know it would be good."

Street sleepers: The government-supplied dolls are useless

He said that street sleepers did not have cooking tools. Although the government had distributed food such as canned food and doll noodles when Jordan was sealed, it did not apply to them. "There are some people who are in wheelchairs. Go out and get it in line."

He said that he was not reworking in Sham Shui Po, and he was worried that the area would not be able to be reworked if the area was suddenly closed. "We all have rework on the streets. It will be very troublesome if the hand stops and stops."

On the other hand, Mr. Cen is also worried that once the zone is closed, the "underground order" of street sleepers will fall into chaos, especially among street sleepers, there are addicts. After the zone is closed, if they become addicted to drugs, their tempers will be very irritable. Or there may be physical conflicts, "Although there will be messengers in the closed area, help me? Can you help me get me? I feel like I was beaten down and ignored."

He said that he does not expect the government to take care of street sleepers when the area is closed, but hopes that if the government wants to close the area, it can notify them in advance so that street sleepers have at least time to store some food, and he may choose to take shelter in the second area. So as not to affect the work.

In addition, after the closure of an area in Jordan, Yau Ma Tei, business in the Sham Shui Po area has also fallen sharply.

In the past, Alia Street and Fuk Wah Street in Wangding and Wangcai are sparsely crowded today. A stall owner who sells profit said that it was the best time for business last year, but the number of customers in these few days was surprisingly low. I didn't get a few deals, and felt hesitated about the closed area, "This year, hey, I don't want to talk about it."

In addition, Ms. Zhang of a mobile phone accessories store said that after the closure of Yau Ma Tei, the number of people has been reduced by more than half, and shops have also noticed early harvest.

The owner of the same mobile phone accessories business also said that the business has plummeted. As for what he expects from the government, he said, "Why don't you forget it, okay?"
