Scholar Denies Commenting on Passenger Traffic Release First Day After Border With China Partially Shut
A columnist and scholar, Leung Kai-chi was asked to comment on the passenger figures released by the Immigration Department on the first day after the “selective border shutdown” was implemented. He declined to comment on whether “a sharp cut of 80%” is a double-talk of the government.
Leung shared on his Facebook page that he would rather ask the government to spend time to procure masks for locals.
However, Leung did urge the government to continue publishing detailed daily passenger figures, including the place of origin of tourists and their Visa types, for public monitoring purpose.

Incomplete Closure of Border leaves Hong Kong Airport, HZM Bridge and Shenzhen Bay Port Open for Mainland Chinese
After much delay, the Hong Kong Government announced the closure of Lo Wu, Lok Ma Chau and Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal from 00:00 on Feb 4.
The Hong Kong-China border still remains open by air (Hong Kong International Airport) and by road (Hong Kong-Macau-Zhuhai Bridge Link).
Carrie Lam insisted that a complete closure of the Hong Kong-China border is not good and feasible for the Hong Kongers. She also claimed that Hong Kong and China are closely connected and clear-cut measures are not ideal.
[Editor's note: MTR announced to close the Lo Wu and Lok Ma Chau Stations on the East Rail Line, leaving it to operate between Hung Hom and Sheung Shui Stations.]

This is the consensus amongst Hong Kong people. But will the government listen?

Chinese High Speed Rail Passengers Attempts to Walk from Hong Kong to China after Missing his Stop
Lawnaker Jeremy Tam stated that in early December a Chinese passenger, who got on from Changsha South station in China, missed their stop at Shenzhen North station and reached West Kowloon Station in Hong Kong as a consequence.
They, however, did not ask for help or enter Hong Kong via border control. Instead they walked the rail north in attempts of going back to China.
In the end, they walked 10 km to Kwai Chung, where they exited the tracks via the ventilation emergency exit. Once they found that they still had not left Hong Kong, they reported to the nearby police station.
Tam denounced the absurdity of the situation, stating that he was suspicious of the authenticity of the report due to its absurdity. Yet he received a reply from the government yesterday which prompted him to speak out against the situation. Tam excoriates Co-location arrangement.

Carrie Lam shed crocodile tears as she called for compliance with the quarantine order in consideration for the frontline medics. If only the border was closed one month earlier...
