Students Trapped in Tutorial School During HK Government's #SuddenLockdown

Mrs Ng came into a heated argument with the staff of Hong Kong government's Home Affairs Bureau (#HAB).

Her 15-year-old daughter and three other students went for after-school classes in a building in Jordan and were trapped as the Hong Kong government imposed a sudden lockdown at 7pm on Feb 1, 2021, to enforce #COVID19 mandatory test.

The government staff told Mrs Ng that her daughter would be released after being tested, but without letting her know an estimated time.

In distress, Mrs Ng expressed, “Of course I am angry. They don't let us know when the test will be done.” Worrying about her daughter, she said “Does it mean that my daughter has to sleep overnight on the floor or in the corridor?”

HK Government Asks a 10-year-old to Spend the Night Alone in a Motel During #SuddenLockdown

At 7pm on Feb 1, 2021, the Hong Kong Government imposed a sudden lockdown in fours districts, including Tsim Sha Tsui, a popular shopping area frequented by many locals.

A mother took her 10-year-old daughter for a haircut in Tsim Sha Tsui. She went for a quick grocery shopping, when her daughter was in the hair salon.

When the mother went back to pick up her daughter, the salon has been cordoned off by the authorities as a restricted area for mandatory #COVID19 testing.

Unable to reach her daughter, the mother waited in avail for hours outside the lockdown zone,

The authorities suggested renting a motel room for her 10-year-old daughter to stay alone overnight until the end of the government's operation at 7am the next day.

In frustration, the mother questioned, “will you yourself consider sleeping over in a motel in Tsim Sha Tsui?”

Showing her extreme disappointment, she described the options provided by the government as “useless.”

At around 22:30, the mother was told that her daughter would be released after being tested. The government staff stressed that it was a "discretionary" arrangement.
