The square cabin hospital in Lok Ma Chau Loop has been in use for an indefinite period after its completion. It is reported that the government is considering closing ten temporary care centers for the elderly in Hong Kong, including the AsiaWorld-Expo, and transferring the elderly who need temporary care to the square cabin hospital. He was quarantined at the Lok Ma Chau Loop Cabin Hospital.
Li Huijin, a member of the Elderly Affairs Committee (17th), said that with the return to normal in Hong Kong, it is believed that the historical mission of the community elderly respite center will come to an end, and the AWE and various gymnasiums in the region will be returned to the society.
Li Hui believes that if the temporary care center for the elderly needs to be relocated, "of course, the closer the better." She believes that the elderly or their family members also prefer the Penny's Bay isolation facility which is closer, but if they finally need to "settle down" in the Lok Ma Chau Loop Square cabin hospitals may not be easy to recruit.

The occupancy rate of respite centers is less than 10%
Li Hui said in the commercial program "Departure on a Sunny Day" that the government will adjust the new arrangement starting this year. If the residents of the nursing home are diagnosed with mild symptoms, they can stay in the original location of the nursing home for isolation. Therefore, the current occupancy rate of community respite care centers is less than 1% become.
She also believes that as Hong Kong returns to normal, it is believed that the historical mission of the community elderly respite centers will come to an end, and the respite centers have used a lot of resources. She believes that the government should make timely adjustments to follow the changes in the epidemic situation and return venues such as the AsiaWorld-Expo and the gymnasium. I believe the government will consider it.
She also mentioned that the vaccination rate of the elderly is high, and some people have also been diagnosed. Under the "double immunity", she believes that residents who are diagnosed and stay in isolation in institutions will not cause outbreaks in the hospital.
When asked whether she should move to the Hetao shelter hospital or the Penny’s Bay isolation facility, she thought that the closer the better, the Hetao shelter hospital was “closer to Shenzhen Zhongduo than Hong Kong”, so it might not be easy to recruit staff, or it could be relocated. Looking for foreign aid from Shenzhen to arrive in Hong Kong, "it's up to the government to consider."
She also believes that the elderly or their family members prefer the Penny’s Bay isolation facility, which is closer. “The closer you are, the more confident you are, the shorter the journey by car.” If the Hong Kong government finally decides to isolate the confirmed elderly at the same location, it should provide corresponding support.
