The outbreak of Omicron continues to expand. Since 2,700 residents of Yat Kwai House, Kwai Chung Village, have been quarantined for five days from 6 pm last night (21st) until the morning of next Wednesday (26th).

Due to the discovery of 2 preliminary confirmed cases in Yingkui Building in the same village earlier, which involved a mutant virus strain, the government raided Yingkui Building at 4:00 am today (22nd), and it is expected to end at 7:00 pm.

A large number of residents in Yingkuihu were dissatisfied with the sudden need for compulsory testing in the early morning, and shouted, "What a sudden!" Some elderly people with cancer were inconvenient to go downstairs for testing, but no one came to help.

Regarding the government's announcement that it was only at 4 o'clock in the morning, Mr. Lai, who lives in the Yingkui Building, said frankly: "It's not a stalk!" He was worried that he would not be able to deliver the pork to customers in time, and he directly denounced why the government did not notify the residents in advance, which made everyone feel melancholy.

Residents feel suddenly worried about affecting normal work

Ms. Lin, a resident of Ying Kwai Building, said that she only learned of the building's enclosure when she received a text message from a friend, thinking that the arrangement was abrupt.

She said that she did not receive a notification from the Department of Health when testing was required, nor did any staff come to the door to slap the door.

As for food, Ms. Lin pointed out that she had purchased a small amount of food in advance yesterday, and if she needed to be confined as in Yak Kwai House, "I don't have to worry about it, I don't have to worry about it."

Some citizens said that they learned that the building had been enclosed and forcibly inspected only through TV news reports.

Ms. Zeng (69 years old) said that she did not expect the building to be closed and inspected, and she did not have pre-stored food at home, but she was not worried that she would need to be grounded like Yak Kui Building. She said bluntly, "Don't worry, you are strong!"

Mr. Leung, a resident of Yak



Kwai House, lives with his parents and two younger brothers and a family of five. He pointed out that until 9:30 in the morning, he had not received the breakfast distributed by the government, and he also pointed out that yesterday's dinner was also It was received at about 10 o'clock, and I thought it might be the first day of the ban, so the arrangement was more confusing.

Mr. Leung's parents are in their 80s, and his mother is also suffering from liver cancer. It is inconvenient for him to queue downstairs for testing. Therefore, yesterday, Mr. Leung informed the staff of the Department of Health that he would need to come to his parents' home to conduct tests. However, until today, no staff has come to test for his parents.

"Some staff registered for the parents at 11:00 (last night), but no one came to the door until nearly 2:00 in the morning." Mr. Leung called the management office later, but learned that the staff of the Department of Health had left, feeling baffled.

In addition, since Mr. Leung conducted the test before the government announced the closure of Yak Kwai House, he did not receive any materials distributed by the government, and since he did not receive a notification from the staff of the Department of Health, he did not know the test arrangement for today.

Mr. Leung, who works as a night shift taxi driver, said that he felt helpless when he suddenly received a grounding arrangement yesterday, which caused him to be unable to find a replacement driver in time, which affected his income.

Since he needs to pay the taxi rent in advance, if the government can notify him early, he can reduce the loss. He estimates that the 5-day ban will reduce his income by 5,000 yuan, and he hopes the government can compensate for the lost salary for 5 days.

Mr. Xue, his mother, his wife, children, and his family of five, who live in Yat Kwai House, said they received instructions from the staff of the Department of Health that they can go to the downstairs testing station for testing today from 10:00 to 12:00 and from 2:00 to 4:00.

However, he pointed out that the time when each member of the family received the test results of yesterday was different. He still did not receive the test results until 10 o'clock, so he did not dare to go downstairs for the test. He still reminded the residents not to go upstairs if they did not receive the test results. Under the test, it is feared that some people will receive positive results in the test, causing large-scale infection.
