The government announced that non-emergency grade civil servants will stay home from tomorrow (29th) to next Sunday (2nd), and many private companies responded. Many people went to the supermarket this afternoon to buy a lot of dry food, such as instant noodles and canned food.
As seen in Shatian Supermarket, all the food on the shelves has been cleaned up, but only a small amount remains. Some citizens said that buying large quantities of dry food is to reduce going out to reduce risks.

The reporter visited several supermarkets in Shatian in the afternoon and saw that many citizens were shopping, and most of them wore masks. Some citizens even brought their own trolleys to shop. As seen at the scene, citizens mainly buy dry food that can be stored, such as instant noodles and canned food. At a Wellcome supermarket in Shatin, bread and fish eggs were running low, and hand sanitizers were swept away. Some staff members said they were basically out of stock.
Citizens buy food to avoid going out to reduce risk
Mr. Guo is a civil servant. He said that after learning that civil servants can work from home in the future, he and his wife went out to the supermarket to shop, so that they do n’t have to go out in the next few days and can cook at home because he thinks that if they go out to eat rice, they must take off their mask , It ’s more dangerous: “I ’m not afraid that there is no food in Hong Kong, but I do n’t want to remove the masks on the street.” He and his wife mainly bought instant noodles, a small amount of rice, eggs, and some fruits. He estimated that the food he bought this time would cost nearly five Hundred yuan, but only enough for two couples and daughters to eat for four to five days, and then buy again. He pointed out that since the last battle of SARS, knowing that the epidemic situation "can be used like a terror law" has increased his awareness of epidemic prevention.
At the same time, Mr. Guo also criticized the government's outbreak of epidemic prevention work this time, unwilling to positively acknowledge that the epidemic has spread, and the efficiency of civil servants working from home is very limited, which is basically equivalent to a shutdown.

Ms. Chen was shopping at Wellcome Supermarket in Shatian today. She pointed out that although she was young when she was a SARS artist, she still thought that she needed to be aware of epidemic prevention. There are four people in Miss Chen's home. She said that the pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong made her interested in buying more food and put it at the "gate". She brought her own trolley and said that she usually eats instant noodles less often, but today she came to buy instant noodles and canned food. I bought some egg rolls because they could last longer. However, she pointed out that she originally wanted to buy canned food, but saw that the tempeh and other fish on the canned goods shelf had been wiped out, and the canned pork that she wanted to eat was no longer available.
She said that just now I heard people say that there are more goods in the vicinity of Baijia, and she will consider the situation. She said, "I didn't think too much about it. I decided to buy it, and I didn't check the price."
