The isolation order of COVID-19 in Hong Kong was officially cancelled on January 30. At present, among the eight community isolation facilities in Hong Kong, only Penny's Bay community isolation facilities are still in operation, and the rest have been put into standby status. The Hong Kong Secretary for Housing, He Yongxian, mentioned in his introduction of simple public housing that the Kai Tak community isolation facilities may be technically changed to different uses, including simple public housing or youth hostels. The SAR government is open and is conducting analysis and research. The picture shows the isolation facilities in Kai Tak community. It is understood that the isolation facilities in Kai Tak community are constructed by assembly method, providing about 3000 rooms, 4 floors high, and equipped with elevators; Each unit covers an area of about 193 square feet (17.9 square meters). It is equipped with independent toilets, TV sets, air conditioners and other equipment. Some units can enjoy the seascape comparable to private buildings. It is revealed that the isolation facilities in Kaide Community have independent toilets and are close to the urban area, which are more suitable for transformation into youth dormitories. Last year's Policy Address put forward the plan to expand the supply of youth dormitories, which will increase the supply of youth dormitories in different ways, such as subsidizing non-governmental organizations to rent suitable hotels or hotels and convert them into youth dormitories, providing 3000 accommodation within five years, and the rent is not higher than 60% of the rent of residential buildings in the same district. Some members of the Legislative Council suggested that it would still be necessary to retain one or two community isolation facilities for emergency use in the future, and other community isolation facilities could be used as transitional housing or youth hostels.
