Government Solely Responsible if Covid-19 Outbreak Happens in HK
1908 | Mr Leung works at the Drainage Services Department. He stated that every building has a network of pipes and sewers. One pipe, however, is used to collect sewage. He pointed out that both Wuhan Pneumonia and SARS are airborne viruses. He expressed his hopes that citizens will continue to stand in solidarity with the frontline medical personnel and warned residents of any buildings in Hong Kong to be prepared for an infection by the novel coronavirus due to government mismanagement.
Finally, he pointed out to the government, saying that if there were to be an outbreak in Hong Kong, there is no one to blame, but the government. Citizens should sue the government if that happens.

China Decorates Coach Transporting Hong Kong Citizens in Japan With PRC-styled Slogan and Symbol
On Facebook, the PRC's Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Special Office in Hong Kong describes that their Vice-Agent Song Ruan and PRC's Consul General in Japan Zhan Kongchao received Hong Kong government officials like Deputy Director-General of the Security Bureau Au Chi-kwong, and Director of Immigration Tseng Kwok-wei at Yokohama ferry terminal, where Diamond Princess cruise is anchored.
A bus was there to bring enlisted passengers to board the charter flight to Hong Kong provided by Cathay Pacific and arranged by the Hong Kong Government at Tokyo Haneda Airport.
The bus had, however, become a site of PR show where PRC flags and a banner "Leave, let's go home" in simplified Chinese, a writing system not used in Hong Kong but China, were hung.
The PRC's Ministry said they "wish all Hong Kong passengers a safe flight. The great motherland will always back its people" on facebook.

Medical Association: Coronavirus outbreak yet under control
Dr Choi Kin, former president of the Hong Kong Medical Association, criticized the World Health Organization's claim that there is no need to wear a mask when there is no signs of illness is inappropriate. Choi countered that there had already been many "Invisible patients" spreading the virus, if people do not wear masks, the outbreak will not stop. He doubted, "I am not sure whether the government has exercised their independent thinking, and it is not necessary to follow the WHO recommendations word by word blindly".
When taking a group photo, Choi, the only person in the audience wearing a black mask suddenly showed pro-democracy protest slogan "five demands, not one less" by raising 5 fingers on one hand and one on the other.

At least 2 Coronavirus infection cases imported from Macau, HKSAR government maintains free access via HK-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge
Both the 25th and 62nd confirmed cases of new Coronavirus in Hong Kong came to Hong Kong via Macau, and the Macao authorities informed on Wednesday (Feb 19) of the tracking results. Both patients arrived in Hong Kong on February 6 by the same buses, taking the Macau bus 101X and then arriving on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge via the shuttle bus services.
The 25th confirmed case lives in Zhuhai and works in Macau, which is an imported case, while the 62nd case showed onset of symptoms on February 11. Possibly, cross-infection could have taken place on the buses.
The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Authority announced earlier that from February 18, all vehicles would be exempt from toll until end of the epidemic, yet it is worrying that frequent travelling could exacerbate the outbreak of new Coronavirus.
