In the new year's new crown pneumonia epidemic, due to the confirmed cases of many residents in the area, "Tuen Mun" has become the "hardest-hit area" and a hot topic.

Residential areas, restaurants, schools, community halls, clinics, shopping malls in housing estates, etc. are designated as mandatory testing announcements in the area. The time period involved ranges from several hours to several weeks. Waiting in line for several hours to complete the regulations, and then waiting for the next number of days when samples must be handed in, the cycle can be up to 6 times, and the scope of the test announcement will increase as individuals go in and out.

The epidemic in Tuen Mun has made people nervous. During the day, the number of people being tested is horrific, and some parts of the district have to go silent at night.

Not to mention that restaurants have long been required to suspend dine-in dinners in the evening market. There are already people in the shopping malls and streets, and the lights of retail stores only reflect the silent desolation, which may also contain fear.

The new variant brings things back to a state of deja vu. When will such a dilemma and cycle disappear?
