Emotionally Unstable Chinese Man Makes Job Difficult for Healthcare Workers at Princess Magaret Hospital
A Chinese man, who came over from Kaiping, China, had a high fever and was therefore admitted to Princess Margret Hospital.
He was clearly emotionally unstable. He took off his face mask and laid on the ground, asking the nurses to tie him up. However, no one dared to go near to the man, for fear of being infected.

Booklet Suspected to Encourage Chinese to Seek Medical Help in Hong Kong
According to China-backed Wen Wui Po, a booklet titled āProtection and Prevention against Novel Coronavirus Infectionā was published by the Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention and Wan Li Books and distributed by Joint Publishing. The foreword was written by Dr. Edward Leong Che-hung, former chairman of Hong Kong Hospital Authority, and Dr. Ko Wing-man, former director of the Food and Health Bureau.
In addition to detailed contact information of hospitals and clinics in Hong Kong, immigration arrangements at the airport and railway stations were provided. It was believed that the booklet encourages Chinese mainlanders to seek medical treatment in Hong Kong, thereby increasing the chances of spreading the new coronavirus. The lack of awareness in epidemic prevention in China is affecting the health and safety of people worldwide.

Police fire pepper pellets at reporters at close range, shattering camera filter
During the police ās dispersal operation at the junction of Shan Tung Street and Portland Street outside Langham Place last night (January 26), reporters stepped back at the request of the police, but continued to film while moving backwards.
However, police at the scene fired several rounds of pepper pellets at a close range towards reporters. One of the pellet hit the reporterās camera, causing the shattering the filter. The camera body and lens were stained with chemicals.
This contact force, powerful enough to break glass a few meters away, can definitely cause injury if it hits a human directly.

MA Chairman suggests Government to collect real-time visitor data on Chinese authorities to tighten border control
The HKSAR government announced late in the evening of January 26 that from midnight of January 27, all residents of Hubei Province, except Hong Kong residents and anyone who has been to Hubei Province in the past 14 days will not be allowed to enter Hong Kong until further notice. The new measure was meant to reduce the chance of people infected with the new coronavirus entering Hong Kong.
The Chairman of the Infectious Diseases Advisory Committee of the Medical Association, Leung Chi-chiu, believed that the new measure came down too late. He believed that visitorās identity could be verified based on their travel documents to prevent high-risk individuals such as those from Hubei Province from importing the virus into Hong Kong. However, he admitted that it is not reliable for visitors to declare on their own.
Leung suggested for the SAR government to cooperate with mainland authorities to obtain information on inbound tourists through real-name system. The HKSAR government could also take reference to measures taken by the Macau government, to track those came from Wuhan in the past 14 days and make it mandatory for them to undergo quarantined monitoring.
When being asked whether the interception area should be extended from Hubei Province to cover the entire China, Leung said there is no indication of major outbreaks in other provinces and cities, so large-scale border shutdown may not be necessary for now.

In Face Of Suspension, Head of Students Union Has No Regret in Pro-democracy Fight
The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (#UST) Studentsā Union (#SU) was penalised by the university management due to their role in organising the Memorial Service in remembrance of the death of fellow student #AlexChow, repainting a part of the University Road and refusing to remove material that the University deemed as pro-Hong Kong Independence.
Ka-chun MAK, the President and Kai-ho LO, the Vice-President (Internal) of the Students Union were suspended for a semester, had to complete a 72-hour campus service order and were prohibited from using any campus facility.
Mak told InMedia that he wouldnāt regret about what he had done for HKUST and Hong Kong, and that the he became the President of the SU because he wanted to change the politically apathetic campus, so that students of the University could be āproud of HKUSTā outside academic proficiency. He did so also to raise civic consciousness and to take on more responsibility.
During the interview, news came in about the police once again breaking into the campus of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK) and arresting several students.
Mak lamented that one had to weigh the consequences before doing anything then. āWill you be looked into under this circumstance?ā He sighed. He thought that everyone had their own standards in their mind, if they could afford the consequences of the actions they took, they should go ahead, prepared to accept the consequences that follow. āIf you think whatever should be done is worth the legal consequences, then do it.ā

Philippine province cancels award for China Communications' US$10 billion airport project
Philippine announced the cancellation award of a US$10 billion airport deal south of the capital to Chinese firm. It was the biggest projects involving a Chinese firm, China Communications Construction Co (CCCC), under President Rodrigo Duterte who has pursued warmer ties with Beijing since taking office in 2016.
However, the Cavite government would start new negotiations for a private sector partner to pursue the airport project.
CCCC was among the Chinese firms blacklisted by the United States in August for their roles in constructing and militarising artificial South China Sea islands.
