HK Gov't Rolls Out Multi-District Lockdowns in Consecutive Days

On Feb 2, 2021, the Hong Kong government imposes mandatory lockdowns in three districts, namely Jordan, Shum Shui Po and Tin Shui Wai.

This is the second day that multiple lockdowns take place on the same day. A day ago, the government enforced lockdowns in Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui, Yuen Long and Hung Hom.

Meanwhile, the government found no positive #covid19 case in the latest six mandatory lockdowns it conducted.

Residents Frustrated by Government's Arbitrary Lockdown Measures Hurl Insults at Carrie Lam

On Feb 2, 2021, the Hong Kong government imposes mandatory lockdowns on Jordan, Shum Shui Po and Tin Shui Wei.

In the evening, government officials including Secretary for Food and Health #SophiaChan, Secretary for Home Affairs #CasperTsui Ying-wai, Secretary for the Environment #WongKamSing and assistant police commissioner #RupertDover were standing by at the site to receive Chief executive #CarrieLam for a visit at 11pm.

Lam, who stayed for 15 minutes, was followed around by over ten staff. Civilians who were lining up for mandatory #covid19 tests were asked to give way to Lam.

According to InMedia, a reporter asked Lam to comment on the effectiveness of the lockdown measures while discontent civilians at the scene shout "bixch". Lam did not react to the press nor the civilians.

HK Authorities Refuses to Let Non-resident Leave the Lockdown Site: "You Hong Kong Citizens are Unreasonable!"

A woman who worked in Shum Shui Po expressed her utmost frustration and disappointment towards the Hong Kong government's organization at the lockdown zone.

On the evening of Feb 2, 2021, the woman found herself suddenly in the "restricted area" after the government ambushed 17 buildings in Shum Shui Po for a mandatory lockdown.

She spent hours talking to different officers from the disciplinary force to the Home Affairs Bureau (#HAB), hoping to leave the site after being tested negative. After all, she is not a resident of the area and has nowhere to stay until the end of the government's operation at 7am the next day. Worse still, she has 2 hamsters to feed at home.

The woman recounted the mistreatment by the officers on site and the ridiculous conversations she had with different government officials:

One staff from HAB claimed that she can call the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (#SPCA) and ask them to "go to her place and feed her pet".

Moreover, a customs officer claimed that she can sue him if anything happened to her hamsters. While almost all government's staff she talked to refused to show their pass and give their name, a female staff from the HAB surnamed Cheng proclaimed as the head of the Bureau. In reality, the Secretary for Home Affairs is Casper Tsui Ying-wei.

At some point, the government staff yelled back at the woman, "you Hong Kong citizens are unreasonable!". The woman said to the press, "Who is the unreasonable one here? It is the Hong Kong government!"

HK Gov't Commissions China-owned Gene Testing Company #BGI to Collect Samples from the Locals

On Feb 2, 2021, the Hong Kong government enforced multi-district lockdowns for consecutive days, despite a record of zero positive rate in its last six operation.

Just like one day ago in Yuen Long, the China-owned company Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI), which has been sanctioned by the US for collecting genetic information of the Uighur population in Xinjiang for the Chinese Communist Party government, was again sighted in the lockdown site in Tin Shui Wai.

The HK government has commissioned the Chinese company to conduct #Covid19 test on the local population.
