Kwai Chung Village has recorded at least over 100 residents infected with the virus so far. Following Yat Kwai House, Ying Kwai House has to be enclosed for 5 days. At the same time, another 4 buildings have to be enclosed and inspected, and the lockdown has been lifted one after another this morning.

Residents in the village responded very differently. Some neighbors went to Tsuen Wan to eat as usual after the lockdown was lifted; other residents who were not affected were worried that their access would be restricted, so they rushed to the supermarket to spend more than 1,000 yuan to purchase "grain storage", "worrying about going to the New Year's Day". They are all coming back, so they have to buy it first.” Some residents in the village expressed dissatisfaction, and they made a lot of noise while waiting for the unblocking, loudly criticizing the government’s actions.

Qiankui in the village Building, Xiaokui Building, Xukui Building, and Yakui Building were listed as "restricted areas" last night.

The residents of the two newly-listed buildings with initial confirmed cases have been in and out since the lockdown was lifted.

He also mentioned that he went downstairs at 11 o'clock last night for testing and sampling, and this morning at 8 o'clock Xu has received the test results, so he left home after the lockdown was lifted, and made a quick decision in the village to buy food "supply".

A resident of the same building was initially diagnosed, and he hoped that the epidemic could be brought under control as soon as possible.
