Factwire have written a long article about the new isolation centre “First instance of Wuhan Huoshenshan blueprint with restricted exterior access being built in Hong Kong’s Lok Ma Chau Loop”

As of today, Factwire has observed that the layouts of the “container hospital” and quarantine facilities apparently do not allow direct egress from rooms to the outdoors.

This appears to be the first instance of the Huoshenshan/Leishenshan(火神山/雷神山) blueprint being used to build a structure in Hong Kong.
The Secretary for Food and Health Sophia Chan had expressed earlier, via an online publication, that the Lok Ma Chau Loop facility would be staffed and operated by medical personnel from mainland China.

Wen Wei Po reported yesterday that the construction was slated to be completed on April 5, 2022 and that the finished facility would contain three operating rooms and 100 ICU beds. The Chinese government appointed the China Construction Science and Industry Corporation – the same firm that built the Huoshenshan and Leishenshan facilities in Wuhan – to the project in Lok Ma Chau Loop…..//
