Hong Kong’s leader has said the city will quarantine people arriving from mainland China, including Hong Kong residents and visitors entering via its international airport.
(Feb 6): Hong Kong has been struggling with a shortage of face masks to protect against the coronavirus outbreak. Now it could be facing a run on toilet paper.
Toilet rolls were unavailable in supermarkets in parts of the city as posts circulated on social media showing empty shelves and shoppers lining up to snag rolls, fuelling the latest shortage in a city that’s increasingly trying to isolate itself from China to keep the virus from spreading.
