The 50-year-old male patient lives at No. 1 to No. 3 Jinfeng Street.
The police began to seal up the building at 7:30 p.m. Residents dropped down one after another at 8 o'clock in the evening, and took samples at the temporary testing station at Jinfeng Street Sitting-out Area. At least three residents living with the building were sent to the quarantine center.
The building is four stories high and is 53 years old. Visually, the external wall pipes are not too dilapidated.
District Councillor Tang Huiqiang, who has just resigned, said that there are about 10 units in the building, and it is believed that more than half of them are subdivided households, including small families and ethnic minorities.
Since the closed area included the nearby Jinfeng Street sitting-out area, he said he had received complaints from nearby residents that it was difficult to return home.
The newly appointed Commissioner of Police, Xiao Zebian, arrived at the scene at about 8 pm to inspect the surrounding environment of the building and the temporary inspection station, during which he talked with a number of uniformed police officers.

Earlier, a 27-year-old man working as a ground handler at the airport was diagnosed with the same L452R mutant virus strain. The Center for Health Protection later found that his virus genome was consistent with 3 imported cases from Indonesia. The male ground handler also stayed at the airport for temporary samples. The collection center passed by one or two meters away. It also took the same lift back and forth and was reclassified as related to the imported case.
As the male ground handler was diagnosed, he had been to the 5th or 6th floor of the Hong Kong International Airport Terminal 1, the 7th floor of the Terminal 1, and the midfield passenger terminal of the Hong Kong International Airport. Many places have been included in the mandatory test announcement. This is the confirmed case. The airport porter was also initially diagnosed in the relevant compulsory testing, but he said that he did not know the male ground crew.
