The government has officially updated the quarantine policy to permit home isolation under specific conditions. We will monitor the implementation of these new guidelines to ensure residents have consistent access to this option.

Royalton in Pok Fu Lam had one +ve Covid19 case on 4May. Dept of Health (DH) has issued orders for all residents to be quarantined at Penny's Bay quarantine center (QC) for 21 days. We have offered for each apartment to be sealed with residents inside for 21 days (same as QC), our building has CCTV cameras at every corner which we offered to share with DH (same as QC) and residents have offered to wear a tracker for 21 days (same as QC). Mainland China practised this, and proven successful. We hope not, but your building could be next. HK has to be practical and allow home quarantine and save QC for where home quarantine is not possible. Why are residents being cramped up at QC? Royalton and many bldgs are well equipped and the govt needs to recognise this and be logical with their policy. Please comment and support.

I fail to see the logic of moving an entire block essentially from one location to another (govt facility). How is this safer than asking them to quarantine at home? We all need to continue to work and get on with our lives even if in quarantine.

I read Penny Bay is limited to 2 occupants per room. I’m a single mother of two and would dread having to choose which one of my children would have to endure a 21-DAY quarantine alone. Home quarantine works and can be monitored. Please be sensible!

I have a dog. My daughter has a dog. My son has two dogs. Having them forcibly removed from us is our biggest fear. Two of them need regular medication and all of them would be very distressed to find themselves placed in a facility for 3 weeks. Unacceptable

The police are maintaining a presence outside Royalton anyway, so clearly a home quarantine could have been maintained at minimal additional cost, no additional exposure due to bundling into shuttle buses, and significantly less stress on children and parents

It is unnecessary to relocate residents of whole buildings when they can easily quarantine in the comfort of their own homes, with measures put in place to make sure everyone follows regulations. It would save a lot of time, money and resources.

It’s humanity issues . Home quarantine should be allowed , esp wz kids / pets/ elderlies at home. The environment n hygiene at home is far better than that as in those ‘camp’! Sending kids to quarantine 21days is damn inhumane n irresponsible
