Residents Ask If Carrie Lam Hates Them So Much to Lockdown #YauTsimMong for the 7th Time

On Feb 4, 2021, the Hong Kong government imposed what Chief Executive Carrie Lam called "ambush-style" lockdown in a large area of Yau Ma Tei and Mongkok.

According to #DistrictCouncillor Yu Tak-po, this is the 7th lockdown imposed in the area, in addition to other mandatory testing orders.

The residents in Tung On Mansion on Pitt Street were ordered to undertake #Covid19 test last week, but they were included in the lockdown area on Feb 4, 2021.

The District Council spoke to the media and shared residents' frustration and angst. Residents pondered everyday if they would need to face another lockdown that evening. Some also asked if Carrie Lam hated them so much.

The district councillor also questioned the government's rationale behind the lockdown and the use of taxpayers' money, as the number of positive cases has been decreasing in Hong Kong.
