Last updated: 2020-01-29 16:25The pneumonia epidemic in Wuhan continues. There are currently 10 confirmed cases in Hong Kong. The new union, MTR New Power, today (29th) petitioned at the MTR Kowloon Bay headquarters to petition the company to implement immigration controls on the Chinese mainland before tomorrow to protect the safety of vehicle personnel and all passengers.
East Rail Line captain and union chairman Chen Kaihui said that MTR should consider closing Luohu and Lok Ma Chau border stations to ensure health and safety.

Chen Kaihui quoted a news report as saying that the first confirmed case patient arrived in Hong Kong by high-speed rail, and the second case patient took the East Rail Line and the Ma Tie Line after entering the country. As a result, front-line colleagues felt that “everyone is in danger” and they are worried that they will be working virus infection. He said that although the company provides masks for employees, the virus has the opportunity to infect the eyes, and it can be seen that masks alone are not enough to defend.
Chen Kaihui asked the company to urge the government to stop immigration and implement immigration control in mainland China by tomorrow. If the company is unable to respond before the deadline, the union does not rule out an industrial action, and a strike is one of the possible options.

Regarding the recent announcement of the government's closure of the West Kowloon Station of the High Speed Rail, Chen Kaihui believes that it is not enough to close some ports to effectively prevent the introduction of viruses. It urges MTR to consider closing Luohu Station and Lok Ma Chau Station to protect the safety of MTR staff and passengers.
