Earlier, a foreign domestic helper at Block 11 of Caribbean Coast, Tung Chung was diagnosed and was found to have a variant virus. More than 1,000 residents of the entire building were required to be quarantined for 21 days.
Some residents who are being quarantined at the Penny's Bay Quarantine Center pointed out that although they had been mentally prepared, the meal arrangements in the camp were really chaotic, and the quality and portion sizes were unsatisfactory. The beds were "smelling" and the size of the beds. Very short, she is just right when she is about 155 cm tall.
In addition, she also found that the caretakers and cleaners of the building are still at work as usual. They believe that the risk and chance of contact with the confirmed person is higher than that of the residents. "If safety is really to be ensured, all of them should be quarantined. , Otherwise, when we (the tenants) leave, we will have to sleep 21 more days because someone has been recruited!"

Last Thursday night, the government found a confirmed case involving a variant virus strain, and the "raid" listed Block 11 of Yingwan Garden as a "restricted area."
Ms. Chen (pseudonym), who lives in the building with her family, said that she was outside having dinner with her friends on the night of the incident. At that time, the news only said that she would be tested.
But not long after she returned home, she and her family received news that quarantine was about to be carried out. "The whole world is going downstairs immediately. I remember to wait and wait. After the test, everyone asked the staff when they wanted to. Send it to the quarantine center!" After repeated inquiries, I was told that I had arranged to leave the next morning. "It's a good deal in the second day. I got on the tourist bus faster than others, but I don’t know what to do. It will take a few minutes."
Ms. Chen pointed out that after arriving at the Penny's Bay Quarantine Center, she was arranged to stay in the same room as her sister. "In fact, the environment of the room is not wrong. Living with two people is cleaner than expected." But she said. , The bed in the room seems to be very old, even if it has been requested to be replaced with another set, it still has a peculiar smell and lint.
In addition, she, who is only 155 cm tall, said that the bed is very hard and short in size. "I only wear it well. A normal man should hold his foot."
Dissatisfied with the chaotic meal arrangements in the camp
"The food delivered on the first and second day of my entry was very poor. I had to wait two or three hours for the food to come first." Ms. Chen pointed out that the lunch boxes distributed for each meal are so juicy and so small. Ci juice is even thick and gel-like.
As for the food delivery arrangements, although they have improved in the past few days, the overall situation is very chaotic. They used to "call madly to chase after them", but the phone was not available for a long time and no one would reply to WhatsApp. The attitude of the Civil Security Forces staff Sometimes it’s very bad. "It’s possible that many people are urging the food and they all have the "dry bottom", but we are all miserable, and I don’t have enough food." She believes that communication between different departments should be strengthened. " Don’t ask me to go back to the second side when I have something to do!”
Some residents questioned that building caretakers and cleaners are at higher risk of infection and should not go to work as usual.

Questioned the higher risk of infection among building staff
Yesterday (4th), when Ms. Chen’s mother called the lobby of Block 11 of Yingwan Garden for inquiries, she found that the call was a usual watchman. She suspected that the building administrators and cleaners are now working as usual, and questioned the risk of infection. Why is there no need for 21-day quarantine? "To tell the truth, the chance of contact with a confirmed person is really low. I usually wear masks when I enter and leave the lobby. I understand that it may be because of the mutant virus (need to be isolated). I feel that if you want to ensure safety, it is only the residents. The building managers and cleaners should be quarantined." She also pointed out that in the future, we hope that all government measures will be more thorough and loopholes will be plugged as soon as possible. Wait, it's not a tourist bubble. Singapore doesn't ask for injections, but we need them again in the past."
