JAKARTA - The Hong Kong government implemented a key policy on the Kowloon peninsula on Saturday, January 23. This Kuncitara applies to its 10,000 inhabitants in the region. They are prohibited from leaving the house until they are tested for COVID-19 and the results come out.
As reported by Antara, Saturday, January 23, the Hong Kong government said there were 70 buildings in the area. The process for testing for COVID-19 will take 48 hours, so that later people can start working on Monday.
Hong Kong authorities have taken these measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic in the Asian financial hub and airlines. This key policy is the first to be carried out in this city ruled by China.
Many of the buildings are old and poorly maintained in small, densely populated areas, where split units are common, said health secretary Sophia Chan.
"The risk of infection in the community is quite high," he told a press conference. "After the assessment, we thought we needed to make a restriction testing declaration in a restricted area to achieve our zero cases goal."
The restricted areas have confirmed 162 confirmed cases of COVID-19 this month, and the ratio of the virus detected in waste samples from buildings there is higher than in other areas.
