The epidemic broke out in Yuen Long Plaza, and the testing center was very long. Yesterday (5th), the Center for Health Protection pointed out that many cases involved Yuen Long Plaza, including shopping mall cleaners, security guards, and employees of shops such as Chaoguan and Fortress. Many locations in the area were included in mandatory testing. Today (6th), a number of citizens reported to the East.com that there have been long queues at the Yuen Long On Hing Testing Center since 8:00 a.m., with some people queuing for more than 5 hours.
Ms. Lin, a resident of the district, said that because she had been to Yuen Long Plaza for dinner, she needed a mandatory test, and the company would not let her go to work until she had the test result. To avoid too many people, she arrived at the scene at 7:00 this morning and queued up before the test center opened, but the test was completed around 12:00 noon, describing the snake cake as “dozens of laps”, and the situation at noon was even more serious, ” Going from home, I think I have to wait in line for 6 hours.”
She also pointed out that during the five-hour queue, “there was no food, cold, and hunger and cold.” Due to the exhaustion on the way, she even had to sit on the ground beside the railing while queuing. She blasted the government’s arrangement as “too bad, queuing the dead”, believing that there are only a few testing points in the entire Yuen Long district that the government is “playing with”.
She believes that citizens who are included in the mandatory testing should be given priority, and those who are “recommended” for testing can be “tested sooner or later.” She also pointed out that there must be at least 10 testing points in Yuen Long District. When asked regarding the need for two tests in the future, she bluntly said that she would go to a testing center with fewer people across the district.
