At 4 pm, the reporter visited the underground store at 44-46 Xiyangcai South Street. The store sold 1130 packs of masks, and it was estimated that one person could buy two packs. More than 500 people would benefit. After entering the narrow lane of Women's Street, the staff spent 15 minutes to finish the round. As seen at the scene, some staff members maintained order and went shopping in the store in batches. The order was generally good.

After approving the government's epidemic prevention measures

Ms. Chen said that when she saw the news that masks were sold, she rushed to buy them. Watsons, Joyot, and Longfeng Pharmacy all tried to rank, "from morning to night." I believe the queue time totaled more than 7 hours. She has a family of three. She claims that her son is a long-term patient, which makes her even more worried about the lack of masks in her home.

She criticized the government for hoarding a large number of masks. "It is easy to remain indifferent when you see that many people line up overnight." She also pointed out that after all the government's current epidemic prevention measures became aware, the epidemic did not happen overnight. It had already broken out in December last year and asked why it was not ready.

When talking about the government's anti-epidemic measures, he said categorically: "Poor!" He believed that the government should at least seal off.

Miss Li said that she fluttered masks everywhere for two days, and every time a store announced that it was sending out a package, it was helpless to buy a box of masks worth 298 yuan from Mong Kok pharmacy yesterday. She claims that she is already a large family, but she also needs to help her neighbors with masks. "You can ignore it, you will die if you die." At least ten people are required.
