As a result, the public was worried that their employees would contract "Wuhan pneumonia". It was circulated on the Internet that the branch of Weixun in Yuen Long's Xingdian had employees who were temporarily infected due to infection. Weixun clarified on Facebook at 11 pm today (31st) that due to the serious shortage of disinfection supplies and masks, in order to protect the health of each employee and guest, some branches will be closed from today until further notice.
It is circulated on the Internet that the Weixun branch in Yuen Long has not opened the door, and employees are suspected to be infected with Wuhan pneumonia. Weixun posted on the official Facebook to clarify the incident, claiming that the company has recently rumored that it was a false rumor that the company had suspended the operation of individual branches due to infection of pneumonia in store employees. Due to the severe shortage of disinfection supplies and masks, in order to protect the health of each employee and guest, some branches including Sheung Shui Plaza, Tuen Mun V City, Yuen Long-shaped Point, North Point Hui and Mong Kok Service Centre will be closed from now until another Notice. WeiXun also pointed out that other branches are open as usual, and shorten the business hours to facilitate cleaning and disinfection before opening and after closing the store to ensure hygiene in the store.
Yuen Long District Councillor Zhang Xiuxian also stated on Facebook that he had received news that some of the retail outlets in Weixin had suspended services due to limited epidemic prevention resources, including masks, disinfectants, etc., so the public need not worry too much. He also reminded everyone to always pay attention to hygiene and avoid going to places with a lot of people.
