Protests, Strikes, Home-made Bombs: Hong Kong-China Border Remains Open
On Feb 2, the first death outside of China was reported in the Philippines. In Hong Kong, the 15th case of the Wuhan pneumonia was confirmed: The patient was a 72-year-old woman whose son had also caught the disease earlier.
As many countries issued ban on Chinese and those who had travelled to China, an increasing number of airlines also cancelled flights to and from China; however, the Hong Kong-China border remains open.
In addition to the inadequate supply of masks and protective gears, the Hong Kong Government's refusal to close the border with China had stirred up much discontent among the citizens. Worse still, the government not only continued to set up quarantine centers in residential areas without consulting the public; but it also ignored citizens' demand to deploy unused hospital and the People's Liberation Army garrison base as quarantine centers.
For consecutive two days, Mei Foo residents have been protesting against the installation of an isolation camp in a heritage site. A union representing public hospital medical workers has approved strike starting from Feb 3 and this would be Hong Kong's first strike undertaken by medical personnels in history.
On the same day, even the fourth home-made bomb was found in Lo Wu, one of the most frequently used ports between Hong Kong and China. A message demanding the government to shut down the border to stop the new coronavirus from spreading to Hong Kong was later on released on the internet.
As of Feb 2, the new coronavirus emerging from Wuhan, China has reportedly infected over 14,500 people across China and reached 24 nations worldwide.
