He also thanked the testing service contractor for their services and the cooperation of residents in the district.
For some residents who are unable to return to work because they are in a "restricted area", he hopes that the relevant employers will be considerate and not deduct salary.
He believes that this action shows the decisiveness of the SAR government. If there is a need in the future, the SAR government will not hesitate and will take another action to establish "restricted areas."
But he also said that for the first time the SAR government has taken action with the goal of "community clearing", emphasizing that the action is people-oriented. If there are any deficiencies, the public should be sympathetic.
The SAR government will provide sufficient food packs for residents in the district and set up a hotline to provide assistance.
Zhang Jianzong also said that in addition to the nearly 7,000 residents in the district who have undergone testing, the SAR government will continue to arrange for those who have not undergone testing to undergo testing on the 24th, analyze the test results and notify relevant parties.
If everything goes well, we are confident that the "restricted area" can be unblocked at 6 o'clock on the 25th, and the lives of residents in the area can return to normal.
He thanked the residents in the district for their cooperation, understanding and tolerance, and emphasized that the SAR government will sum up its experience and do better.
He also urged anyone who has been in the "restricted area" for more than two hours in the past 14 days, even if they are not in the "restricted area" when the relevant announcement takes effect, they must comply with the mandatory testing announcement and be tested as soon as possible. Can be taken lightly.
