Last updated: 2020-02-16 09:20New coronavirus pneumonia (commonly known as Wuhan pneumonia) is raging, and everyone in Hong Kong is at risk. They have bought masks to protect themselves. The supply of masks is in short supply, and whenever the store is opened for sale, it attracts a large number of people in line to buy. A medical supplies company in Fanling opened a warehouse today (16th) to sell masks in the form of fundraising. Thousands of people lined up around industrial buildings in 12 degrees of cold weather.
The weather in Hong Kong became significantly colder. The lowest temperature in Sheung Shui District was only 11.7 ° C at 8 am. The cold weather did not hinder the determination of anxious citizens to line up to buy masks. Thousands of people started to wait for a medical supplies company in Fanling in the morning. This medical supplies company is not the first to open a position, each time attracting a large number of people in line, reflecting the continued demand for masks.
It will be sold at 9 am, but hundreds of people have been seen waiting in line with the rain gear at 7 am. The company stated on the Facebook page that the sales target was limited to Hong Kong citizens. It must be presented with a Hong Kong identity card in order to obtain chips. 10,000 chips were distributed on a first-come-first-served basis. Each person purchased a maximum of two boxes of masks. The top Brian arrived at 1 am, referring to the fact that there were only a dozen masks left in the house, so he came to buy a population mask in the rain. For a mask of 150 yuan for a box, he thinks the price is unreasonable, but in the epidemic, "as citizens, only hard food is better than a pharmacy, which may cost 300 to 400 yuan a box, and I do n’t know the source of the supply. It ’s relevant (protective function) ) Certification. "
As for the company's statement that only Hong Kong people can buy it, Brian thinks it is a good thing, because the masks are grabbing the world. "The government does n’t do it, Hong Kong people do it themselves. I hope Hong Kong looks like Macau. At least there are a few masks around, and everyone is at ease." . "
The restaurant "Glorious Ice Room", which had stated that it only served Hong Kong guests and local residents, said it had received a call from the EOC, saying that it could not only entertain certain people or not entertain certain people, or it would be prosecuted. The person in charge of the medical company believes that the opening of the position this time indicates that only Hong Kong people are not involved in discrimination, and the purpose is to register with a Hong Kong identity card to prevent the same person from lining up continuously. Regarding the alleged sky-high price, he said that buying masks globally has increased costs, and he has tried his best to find supplies.
