#Strike
Medics escalate strike action with thousands of members lining up to make petition

The Hospital Authority Employees Association (#HAEA) pointed out that the strike has reduced manpower in hospital wards the level during nightshift. The union said that in event of major community outbreak of Wuhan Pneumonia in Hong Kong, their strike will be postponed.

HAEA stresses that a full border lockdown is needed to halt the widespread of the coronavirus in Hong Kong. A member of HAEA said “we don’t want to be sacrificed for nothing. We don’t want any monument after a needless death”

Meanwhile, many more medical personnels were queuing up to make their petition. The massive crowd covered almost the entire Argyle Street in Mongkok.

Many representatives of Labour Unions including Aviation industry and Social Service sector also came to show support.

Where are the CSI masks - a classic Rashomon case?

In two consecutive days, HKSAR Chief Executive, Carrie Lam repeatedly said, face masks produced by Correctional Services Industries (CSI) would be provided to medical staff in priority.

However, Dr Deacons Yeung Tai-kong, Director of Cluster Services of Hospital Authority responded on February 4 that the Authority has never received any CSI masks. Yeung also said that it is unclear whether any colleague would purchase masks through other channels.
