The new crown pneumonia epidemic continues. The first patient with the N501Y variant virus strain was found in the community. Those who had visited Cheung Chau earlier and those who had been to the Cheung Chau Wharf on the same day were required to undergo a second compulsory test.

Sailors working on the Cheung Chau ferry said that due to the large number of people on board and the wind, they were worried about the risk of infection.

Some residents of Cheung Chau said that although staying away on that day is not a requirement of the mandatory inspection announcement, they can only resume work after being required by the company to be tested. They must spend their annual leave to wait for the test results.

He reprimanded the government for harassing the people, and there is no need to force a large number of residents to be tested.

Due to the second compulsory testing of virus cases, the authorities have set up a mobile testing vehicle outside Central Pier 5, which is only available for testing by workers at the terminal.

The staff pointed out that other citizens wanted to go to the mobile inspection station in Edinburgh Place.

The sailor is not sure whether he was on the same ship with the confirmed person and worried that he had been exposed to the epidemic at risk

At about 11 o'clock in the morning, there are not many people waiting for testing, and there are no more than 10 people in line.

Sailors working on the ferry between Central and Cheung Chau said that they were not sure whether they had been on the same boat with the confirmed person, and worried that they had been close to each other. However, due to the large number of people on the boat and the wind direction, they were worried that there would be a risk of infection.

The new ferry has been cleaned up afterwards.

As for the cleaner, Ms. Fan said that her working hours on the day are different from those of the confirmed patients. Although she was worried about the variant virus, she frankly said that she still had to work and had to do enough cleaning work such as wearing masks and washing hands.

She pointed out that the company distributes a box of masks to the frontline every month, but on average two masks are replaced every day, which is considered insufficient.

Mr. Kong, a resident of Cheung Chau, believes that the government's mandatory inspections are disturbing the people.

As for the mobile inspection station at Edinburgh Place, three inspection vehicles were parked. At noon, there were about 10 people waiting for inspection.

Mr. Kong, a resident of Cheung Chau, said that on the day of the patient's visit to Cheung Chau, he stayed overnight and did not return to Cheung Chau. However, because the company requested that a negative result be returned to work, he was tested on Monday (19th).

He said that because he was only notified of the test that night, he eventually had to take two days of annual leave to wait for the test result.

He pointed out that Cheung Chau’s inspection station has many people, and the opening hours have even been extended during the first mandatory inspection. The inspection vehicles at the Central Terminal are only for inspections by shipping company employees, and that they should be extended to Cheung Chau residents.

He also criticized that the government's request for mandatory testing of a large number of Cheung Chau residents and visitors this time disturbed the people. He believed that only people on the same boat as the confirmed person would need to be forced to check. You all need money."
