The mutant virus Omicron is rampant, and many confirmed cases have set foot in Tuen Mun, making Tuen Mun an epidemic area, and mandatory testing is required in many places.


At the Tuen Mun Siu Lun Community Hall Testing Center, people started to line up at 5 am today (12th), and some elderly people said that they had been queuing for 6 hours last night and still could not be tested. There were long queues, and after queuing for seven hours, they still "did not see my hometown", criticizing the government for playing tricks on the elderly.


Some elders at the scene lamented that they were "feeling so weak", but they dared not leave the team for meals or go to the toilet, describing it as "so desolate", and even threatened that they would not do the remaining 5 tests, "I won't go there, I'll wait for the royal family to eat. It's hard work for you to eat, but I'm sorry for you!"

She pointed out that after having breakfast at 8 a.m., she had never eaten anything again, lamenting that the elderly had to fulfill their civic duty with an empty stomach, "We are so desolate, we are just a business, we will wait until they (staff) can eat. We don't have any food for us." He described a group of elders whose feet were so weak that they could only sit on the ground.

She said that she had done a test earlier and was able to make an appointment successfully all the time. When her daughter made an appointment for her again yesterday, she found that the appointments in the entire Tuen Mun district were full. He also successfully "tipped" and criticized the government system for being extremely chaotic.

Uncle Zhai, who also arrived at the scene at 9:00 a.m., said that after waiting in line for more than 7 hours, he could not be tested, and he did not dare to leave the queue to eat or go to the toilet. Duo (travel with peace of mind), I'll just toot and dry it, so I'm going to set it up, I want you to check (test)."

He revealed that as soon as he received the "Travel with Peace of Mind" notice last night, he went to the testing station in Anding Village to wait for the test, but waited for 6 hours, until the testing center closed and still could not do the test. There was a long queue, and I was worried that I would be prosecuted for not being able to do the test in the end.

He urged the government to increase manpower and open more testing points to digest the crowd.

The Legislative Council member from the medical and health sector, Lin Zhexuan, visited the Zhaolin Community Hall in the afternoon and lamented that if he had to wait in such a long queue, he might even take the risk and not get tested.

He pointed out that the government requires residents who have visited areas where there are confirmed cases to be tested 6 times, but the online system only allows citizens to make an appointment once, and eventually they will be forced to queue up, urging the government to open more appointment places and send more manpower Sampling and digesting human dragons.
