At 11 o'clock last night, a photo of a long line was believed to be outside the branch of Watsons Tseung Kwan O Plaza. Most of the people in the photos wore masks. It is said that a large number of citizens waited overnight to buy masks when Watsons opened the door this morning. However, when the reporter of "Hong Kong 01" arrived at Tseung Kwan O Plaza at 11:15 last night, there was no one outside Watson's gate. One night, the security guard pointed out that there was no dragon at night, and it was estimated that the photos were taken earlier.
The store has been closed, and the glass window is affixed with a notice of "surgical masks, alcohol paper, alcohol hand rub / spray, all sold out today, please forgive me for any inconvenience." An iron horse belonging to the mall was erected outside the door, which is believed to be used to queue up this morning to maintain order. It is known that the branch will open at 11 am today. In addition, a western pharmacy next to it also posted a sold out mask.
The reporter then went to Mong Kok and other Watsons stores to inspect, and no one was waiting in line overnight.
Watsons posted a post on his Facebook page late last night: "It is mentioned that only a small amount of anti-epidemic products will be returned to the audience, and the delivery time across Hong Kong is different. Different regions will receive the goods in the morning or afternoon. Prompt, the weather is cold, please line up all night, take care of your body! We will continue to do our best to search for epidemic prevention products worldwide, but the limited number is not enough to meet all needs, I apologize and hope that everyone will be considerate. They will arrive in early February, please pay attention to more announcements! Thank you! "
