Last updated: 2020-01-25 19:52The outbreak of the new coronavirus in Wuhan is severe. There are currently 5 confirmed cases in Hong Kong. Many people wear masks when they go out to avoid being infected. The Chief Executive, Mrs Carrie Lam, met with reporters today (25) and talked about the supply of masks. She pointed out that the government would proactively increase the supply of masks, but believed that restricting purchases would make it more difficult to buy masks when supplies were tight.
Lam Cheng also said that the government has contacted the chamber of commerce and businessmen with mask production bases in Hong Kong, and will also use overseas networks to find masks. She urged the public to go to less crowded places and reduce the use of masks. "You can use fewer masks."

When meeting with reporters today, Lin Zhengyue pointed out that the government has met with suppliers regarding the sharp increase in the demand for masks. However, the factory will be closed during the Spring Festival and materials supply will be tight. The government and suppliers will do their best to find suitable sources in the Mainland and other regions. She also pointed out that she has personally written to the State Council today, hoping that relevant units of the State Council can provide assistance.
The highest priority is to proactively increase supply
When asked about the restrictions on the purchase of masks in Macau, Lin Zheng responded that supply of masks was the biggest problem at the moment. Under tight supply conditions, purchase restrictions would make it harder for citizens to buy. Therefore, the highest priority now is to increase supply proactively before considering distribution measures, such as whether the government will distribute masks at certain locations and restrict purchases.
