Civilians in Lockdown Area to Brace Themselves for At Least 48 Hours

During the compulsory lockdown of the Jordan area since 4am on Jan 23, 2021, the Hong Kong government claimed that food supply will be provided to the affected civilians.

The photos reveal the food supplied by the authorities, which constitute largely cup noodle, instant noodle, bread and canned food.

Whereas the residents complained about the confusion caused by the authorities, the latter insisted that the civilians were not obstructed.

#Lockdown For the 2nd Time Within 5 Days: 1 Positive Case Out Of 330 People Tested

At around 7pm on Jan 26, 2021, the Hong Kong government enforced a sudden lockdown at No. 9 - 27 Pitt Street and No. 3 Tung On Street in Yau Ma Tei. Police officers cordoned off the block, as medical personnel set up testing counters.

The authorities demanded residents to stay in their homes except when taking the tests for #coronavirus.

At 6am on Jan 27, the authorities announced the end of the operation, after testing 330 people and locating 1 positive case.

Just on Jan 23, 2021, the government imposed a compulsory lockdown in the Jordan district, neighboring Yau Ma Tei, for 48 hours. It was the first time the authorities invoke the chapter 599J of the Regulations on Disease Prevention and Control.

Shun Fung Building had been on the mandatory testing list on Jan 23, meaning that the residents were tested twice within just 3 days.
