Last updated: 2020-01-25 18:01The pneumonia epidemic in Wuhan has continued to expand in mainland China, with more than 1,200 confirmed cases worldwide and 41 deaths. Five confirmed cases have been recorded in Hong Kong so far, and many citizens have recently purchased masks to "self-protect". JHC Japan Town said on Facebook today (25th) that a total of 16,000 boxes of Medi Pro 50-pack 3-layer masks were sold at 18 stores today. Each box sells for 49.9 yuan, and each person is limited to one box. There were more than 100 people lining up to buy masks at the Japantown in Tsuen Wan Discovery Park and Tuen Mun Metropolis. Some citizens even brought young girls with their hands, so that the family of four could buy 4 boxes of masks.

The supply of masks in Hong Kong is currently tight, and many pharmacy mask prices have risen sharply. JHC Japan Town posted a post on its Facebook today stating that it has a total of 18 stores and will replenish a total of 16,000 boxes of 50 3-pack masks with Medi Pro. The price is 49.9 yuan, and each person is limited to one box.

Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao brought their son and daughter in arms to buy masks at Japantown in Tsuen Wan Discovery Park. Mr. Zhao pointed out that the whole port masks are out of stock recently. There are only two or three boxes of masks at home, which is not enough to deal with Wuhan. Pneumonia, coupled with the pharmacy near Shek Shui Wai, Sheung Shui, all masks have been sold out, so today a family mobilized to buy masks in Tsuen Wan.
Zhao Tai said with a smile: "I didn't know how to make a human head, so I ended up doing it and bought four boxes of masks." However, she said that since the mask is an adult mask, children are not suitable to wear it, so they must continue to use children's masks to prevent family infection.

Some students also went to Japantown to buy masks with relatives and friends. She said that she noticed that there was news on the Internet that masks were sold in Japantown. So she bought three boxes of masks as soon as possible, and planned to go to relatives and friends after buying the masks. Happy New Year.
In addition, Mr. Chen said that he happened to pass through Japantown with his family. "I saw a lot of people and knew they were buying masks, so they lined up immediately." He continued to point out that the price of masks has risen sharply in recent days, and he does not know the authenticity of masks in the workshops. I believe that large chain stores sell genuine goods, so the family mobilized 4 people to buy masks together.
