Protests persisted into the second day over the government’s set-up of a specialist out-patient clinics (SOPC) location for Wuhan coronavirus patients at Kowloon East General Out-patient Clinic. The designated clinic is located within the high-density residential area, hence stirring up the fear of transmission of the contagious virus and further community outbreak.
