New coronaviruses related to Wuhan pneumonia continue to spread. Since the beginning of February, residents in many districts in the territory continue to flap masks. As long as the chain stores announce masks for sale, they will be in a long line. Among them, Wan Ning, a chain of home improvement stores in Tai Wai, Causeway Bay and Tsuen Wan District, immediately attracted a large number of citizens to queue for advice after Facebook announced that a mask should be available. In Tai Wai, even though pharmacies did not sell masks, they did not announce prices and quantities, and more than 300 citizens lined up. Citizens who failed to purchase a mask quarreled with others. The two sides collided for a while, and even more people's masks were rotten. Some people who snapped up masks also bluntly said that the stock of masks in their homes is enough for about one month, but "they must be purchased first, and when will they be available first". There are also people lining up to buy, hoping to give to friends and elderly without masks.
