Rush to save lives

     The need for community isolation facilities became urgent during the fifth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The task force led by the Development Bureau soon located eight pieces of available land and started construction work. The community isolation facility in Tsing Yi was built in seven days and began operations in March.
 
     Representatives from the Development Bureau and different works departments shared with news.gov.hk their feelings about participating in the project and the challenges they faced.
