Hong Kong takes preemptive moves to fight coronavirus
01:37

A slew of measures have been taken by Hong Kong to tackle the coronavirus outbreak across China, including suspending flights and trains to Wuhan indefinitely, canceling major Chinese Lunar New Year events, and extending the health declaration policy to all of the city's entry points. In addition, two prominent amusement parks in Hong Kong, Disneyland and Ocean Park, have announced their shutdown until further notice as part of the efforts to control the spread of the coronavirus.

Mask shortages have been a big concern all across China. Hong Kong residents have rushed to stock up on surgical masks, only to find out the price tags on these daily necessities are times higher than usual. Some shops have put a quota on how many packs of masks each individual can purchase at one time.
