HK Gov't Imposes Sudden
#Lockdown For the 2nd Time Within 3 Days: 1 Positive Case Out Of 330 People Tested

At around 7pm on Jan 26, 2021, the Hong Kong government enforced a sudden lockdown at No. 9 - 27 Pitt Street and No. 3 Tung On Street in Yau Ma Tei. Police officers cordoned off the block, as medical personnel set up testing counters.

The authorities demanded residents to stay in their homes except when taking the tests for #coronavirus.

At 6am on Jan 27, the authorities announced the end of the operation, after testing 330 people and locating 1 positive case.

Just on Jan 23, 2021, the government imposed a compulsory lockdown in the Jordan district, neighboring Yau Ma Tei, for 48 hours. It was the first time the authorities invoke the chapter 599J of the Regulations on Disease Prevention and Control.

Shun Fung Building had been on the mandatory testing list on Jan 23, meaning that the residents were tested twice within just 3 days.

Multi-District Lockdowns in Hong Kong for the 5th Day, Despite 0% Positive Rate in Consecutive Lockdowns

The Hong Kong authorities on Friday, Feb 5, 2021 announced two more mandatory lockdowns in Ma On Shan and Yuen Long.

The affected areas are two blocks in Fu Loy Garden on 7 Ma Wang Road in Yuen Long (see photos) and Heng Kong House of Heng On Estate at 1 Hang Kam Street in Ma On Shan.

All residents were required to be tested by 2am.

Since Jan 23, 2021, the Hong Kong government started to impose mandatory lockdowns by citing Chapter #599J of the Regulations on Disease Prevention and Control.

Since Feb 1, the government has been enforcing ambush-style lockdowns in multiple districts every day. Meanwhile, apart from the first two lockdowns, the government has found no positive case in all the operations they conducted since Jan 28.

The positive rates of the first two lockdowns on Jan 23 and Jan 26 are at 0.17% and 0.003% respectively.
