HK Gov't to Impose More #Lockdowns and Mandatory Tests

Hong Kong's Chief Secretary for Administration #MatthewCheung announced on Feb 1, 2021 that any building found with one positive #COVID19 case with an unidentifiable source or a positive sewage report will be enlisted for mandatory testing.

Cheung said more lockdowns and mandatory testing notices are to be expected in the next 10 days.

Between Jan 23 and 31, 2021, the Hong Kong government has imposed 4 mandatory lockdowns in Jordan, Yau Ma Tei, North Point and Lam Tin. Residents and district councillors voiced out their discontent about the chaotic arrangement, especially when many affected residents had already been subjected to mandatory testing before the governmemt's implementation of an additional lockdown. After the first lockdown on Jan 23, Chief Executive #CarrieLam and government officials denied that residents were obstructed in what Lam called the "ambush-style" lockdown.
