The affected areas are Majestic House on 80 Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui; Ho Choi Building on 42 - 58A On Hing Street in Yuen Long, and Loong King Mansion at 23-35H Ma Tau Wai Road in Hung Hom; and several buildings on Reclamation Street in Yau Ma Tei.

The photos capture the scene in Tsim Sha Tsui. Despite that the lockdown was imposed on one building, the neighborhood was cordoned off by the police. The booths manned by medical personnel also made it impossible for shops to stay open for business.

Chaos Continue in Lockdown Area: HK Police Refuse to Let Resident Go Home Despite Promise

A resident in Tsim Sha Tsui told the press of the irresponsible arrangement by the police in the lockdown area on Feb 1, 2021.

The man lives with his wife in a building in the restricted area. As he was away when the police cordoned off the area, he asked if the police can let him go home.

The police clearly told him that civilian can enter but not leave the restricted area, which the man agreed. Nevertheless, the police refused to let him in, claiming that he needed to wait for the staff of the government's Home Affairs Bureau (#HAB) to decide on an "entrance".

The man expressed frustration towards the pointless conversation he had with the police. He also had the impression that the police and different government's departments were shifting responsibility to one another.
