The new crown pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong continues and a variant virus has invaded the community.

The government announced at about 9 pm last night (6th) that Fung Hing Building, Xinghua Second Village, Chai Wan, was listed as a "restricted area" and residents must undergo compulsory testing.

The original goal of the authorities was to complete the operation at 7 o'clock this morning.

However, the government only announced at 7 pm that residents with negative test results can enter and leave the building, and the release time has yet to be announced.

At about 8 o'clock in the evening, residents walked out of Fung Hing Building one after another.

Some residents said that they had been worried about the 21st quarantine last night, and that they were "determined on shirts and daily necessities," thinking that the government should provide residents with more information to prepare.

"Restricted Area" has not been lifted

At about 6 pm, a staff member from Fengxing Building, Xinghua Second Village, Chaiwan delivered lunch boxes from the fast food restaurant to the unit.

At about 7 pm, the government announced that people who have been tested in the building can leave through designated exits after providing personal information to prescribed personnel if they can show a short message of negative test results or wear a bracelet to prove that they have undergone compulsory testing. .

According to the authorities, the compulsory testing operation was completed at about 7 a.m., and law enforcement operations are being carried out in a "restricted area" to confirm that all persons have undergone compulsory testing.

The government will separately announce the time when the relevant announcement will be officially cancelled.

Residents get their items ready for quarantine on the 21st

At about 8 pm, some residents left Fung Hing Building one after another.

Resident Ms. Chen left at about 8 pm, ready to go to buy food.

She said she was worried that she would be sent to quarantine on the 21st last night. "We will all be ready to make decisions about shirts and daily necessities." She said that she learned that quarantine was not required today, and she felt relieved that the government should provide information earlier "It seems that you don't know what happened, watch the news prophet." However, she said that she was not too worried about the mutant virus and believed that the building was in good hygiene.

Resident Li Tai said that she had never known whether she would be sent to a quarantine center for 21 days of isolation last night. She said frankly, "It's shocking!" She also thinks that the government should notify the relevant decision in advance. I'm going to go." She also said that the government provided food too late. There were only two cup noodles, one can and one packet of macaroni at around 2 pm, and lunch boxes were only provided in the evening.

She pointed out that many elderly people in the building rely on community meal delivery services on weekdays and cannot cook their own meals, worrying that they will not be taken care of.
