Today, Kwai Chung Tak Yan Chinese and Western Pharmacy published a post on its fb page with the title "No fear of black slander and continue to be conscientious for the neighborhood", stating that it was found that the pharmacy was sold online with fake or second-hand masks, clarifying that it was not true. The store refers to the fact that it has been authentic for more than 40 years since its opening. Since 2003, atypical pneumonia has so far been the new type of coronavirus in Wuhan. The standard three-layer surgical mask sold by the store has never exceeded 50 yuan per sale. During this outbreak, it is also strictly prohibited The staff raised the price, and still maintained a mask of RMB 50 per box. I believe it was misunderstood because of the wide gap between the market price.

The store side said that the neighbours must understand and testify, emphasizing that they will never conduct business that is against conscience, and must hold the legal responsibility of the publisher of false information. A netizen later commented in support of the pharmacy, describing it as a conscience store and patronizing for many years, and also said that he hoped that the pharmacy would replenish the stock as soon as possible.
