The epidemic broke out in Kwai Chung Village. Among them, Yat Kwai House became the hardest-hit area. The government closed Yat Kwai House yesterday (21st), and residents were banned from their feet and subjected to mandatory testing for 5 days until the ban was lifted next Wednesday.

Parents taking care of two young children complained that they had to undergo forced inspections three times in three consecutive days. During the period, the information on epidemic prevention was confusing. Residents rushed down the buildings for inspections, resulting in forced explosions of elevators and long queues. The children's movements are uncontrolled, "the long queues, and the random touches when they walk", worrying that in a crowded space, "there will be no disease or disease" at any time.

Some concern groups urge the government to arrange home sampling services for families with children aged 3 to 12 to reduce the pressure on caregivers.


In the early morning, I slammed the door and forced the inspection station to go downstairs to force the explosion.

Ms. Zhu, a family of four living in a flat in Yikui Building, and her husband have children aged three and seven. At that time, the couple did not know about the outbreak of the epidemic in the building. They were still asleep at 0:00 a.m. The equipped DH staff came to the door and patted the door floor by floor, pointing directly at the discovery of confirmed cases, and asked the residents of the entire building to go downstairs for mandatory testing. At that time, she and her husband held a child in each hand and waited for the elevator to drop straight down to the lobby.

Since the residents went downstairs at the same time, she had to wait for the fourth to fifth turns before she could successfully enter the elevator. The car was filled with at least 10 people. After completing the test in the early morning, she returned home to wait for the result.

As of 12 noon yesterday, the family was asked to go underground for compulsory testing. Due to the increasing number of people being tested, there was a long queue at the temporary testing station. The family waited for 2 hours before successfully completing the testing. In Feng Yikui Building, residents were banned and subjected to mandatory testing for 5 days, during which time government personnel would provide their living necessities.

With the exponential increase in the number of confirmed cases in Kwai Chung Village, she began to worry that the risk of going downstairs for testing is getting higher and higher.

She said that adults can still strictly restrain their self-behavior, but children are immature. The flow of people coexists in the same space, and "there is no disease or disease" at any time.

Parents who wait in line for two hours say young children are uncontrollable and touch everywhere

Ms. Zhu also criticized the chaotic arrangement of epidemic prevention testing from beginning to end. For example, residents were suddenly notified to conduct mandatory inspections at the same time on two days. As a result, all residents swarmed downstairs in a long queue. She went downstairs in batches at 2:00 pm and 2:00 pm. She learned from the residents' WhatsApp group that there was a lot of people in the morning, and she planned to be tested in the late afternoon, but at 4:00 pm, she was suddenly knocked on the door by the epidemic prevention personnel and indicated that it must be completed by 6:00 pm She was worried that if she didn’t follow the rules, she would be fined or put in quarantine. When she was about to go downstairs, a resident said in the WhatsApp group that because too many residents went downstairs at the same time, the testing station could not digest the sudden flow of people, causing The crowd clamored, and finally the residents who had not been tested were told by the epidemic prevention staff to return to the unit and wait for the door. In the end, her family went downstairs for the test at 7:20 pm. During the process, she had to worry about whether her children would be touched by random touch. Infected by the virus.

Ms. Lin, a member of the platform for carers and carers, said that in addition to the parent who asked her for help, there are still parents in Yak Kwai House who take care of children with hyperactivity disorder. It is difficult to control their movements in normal life. If they are in a cramped and crowded space, They are even more worried that the other party will be difficult to control and expose their children to the risk of infection.

The platform believes that according to the government's existing mandatory testing arrangements, home sampling will be arranged for the disabled and the elderly, but families with minors or children with special needs are not included. Take Yak Kwai House as an example, some environments Samples tested positive, including elevator buttons.

Children are easy to touch everywhere, especially children with lack of concentration, which are more difficult to control and increase the risk of infection. Parents are under great psychological pressure because they are worried about increasing the risk of infection. Therefore, it is recommended that the government provide additional services for families with children aged 3 to 12 years old. Families provide self-test kits for parents to test on their behalf, or for epidemic prevention personnel to come to sample samples, and tests must be arranged on different floors to reduce the flow of people at the testing station and the risk of infection among residents on different floors.

Over 40 cleaners in Kwai Chung Village sent rubbish for inspection, but no one dumped the garbage in Yak Kwai House. The first day of ban on the rubbish mountain was closed. Residents tried to leave with the old back door but were stopped by the police wearing protective clothing
