In response to the spread of the epidemic, masks in many pharmacies on the market are out of stock. This morning, there were almost a thousand people outside the store waiting to buy masks. The Director of Commerce and Economic Development Qiu Tenghua said recently that some supplies are tight or temporary and will ensure the supply of frontline medical care by the Hospital Authority and the Department of Health.

Some clinic inventory can only be used for one week

Hong Kong Medical Association President Ho Chung-ping said that a private doctor had recently been called for help, saying that the number of masks in the clinic was insufficient, and some doctors stopped for several days. He continued that the clinic has a large demand for masks, as both doctors and clinic nurses are required to wear masks. It is estimated that the inventory of some clinics is only sufficient to meet the weekly usage. He continued to point out that he had asked the government for help on the supply of masks. "It is always possible to take a long vacation," but he has not yet received a reply from the bureau. He will contact the Secretary of Food and Health Chen Zhaoshi again today, hoping that the government can lend a helping hand. Helping each other."

Regarding the patient's consultation, He Zhongping said that he has not noticed an increase in the number of patients in private clinics, and frankly "does not go to achieve cough." He estimates that some people may view the clinic as a high-risk place and worry about contamination with other viruses during consultation. Therefore, if there are only mild symptoms, they will not go to seek medical treatment.

Chief Executive Lin Zheng Yue'e said at a press conference recently that some mask production factories are expected to be closed during the Lunar New Year, and the authorities will work with suppliers to ensure a stable supply of masks. She also stated that a letter had been sent to the State Council seeking assistance.
