The new crown pneumonia epidemic rebounded. Yesterday (4th) another 3 foreign domestic helpers were infected, both of which were also involved in a variant virus. One of them lived in Block R of Allway Gardens in Tsuen Wan. Apart from the isolation and quarantine of the entire building, residents had visited the estate. Citizens in Wellcome, Tianyun Music, Discovery Park and many other places must also be subject to mandatory testing.
The government added a mobile testing station in Discovery Park today (5th). The station started to see more and more people at 3 o'clock this afternoon. It took more than an hour to wait for sampling. Some citizens were dissatisfied and criticized the waiting time for too long. The gathering of people increases the risk of virus transmission. It is recommended that the authorities set up additional mobile testing stations in Allway Gardens.
There were also parents living in the housing estate who visited multiple testing stations and post offices but failed to obtain stool sample bottles to test their children as young as 4 years old. They criticized the messy government information and said bluntly, "Don’t be alarmed by the virus. Surprised, there is no test."
