Last updated: 2020-03-25 12:52New type of coronavirus pneumonia (commonly known as Wuhan pneumonia) has spread worldwide, and in many countries, entry and exit restrictions have been imposed. South American country Peru recently announced the closure of all borders in the country, and an estimated 80 Hong Kong people are still stranded there. Some Hong Kong people who travel freely in Peru said that the local area is like a curfew. They are not allowed to go out after 8 pm. The market is deserted and the atmosphere is tense. There are more soldiers on patrol and the epidemic prevention awareness is higher.
The Hong Kong man confessed that he was very embarrassed now and was worried about insufficient food supply. "He felt good and safe, and was worried about his spirit and body." He also bluntly said, "I dare to hope that the Hong Kong Government can do it." At present, he can only leave after waiting for the Peruvian switch.

Mr. Wang and his wife had left for South America in early January this year. At that time, there was no outbreak in Hong Kong. Therefore, they did not consider travelling too much. He was scheduled to return to Hong Kong in mid-March, but Peru announced the closure of the border the day before his return. He frankly felt very sudden. Mr. Wang pointed out that he is currently staying in the Peruvian city of Cusco. Since the local government only allows for reasons to go out, he and his wife also stay in the hotel.
Mr. Wang believes that the local news is chaotic and that Cusco is more than 3,000 meters above sea level. He is worried that there will be a mountain response and frankly is helpless. According to his understanding, there are about 80 Hong Kong people stranded in the local area, including the Xingchen Tourism Group, and the local Hong Kong people have communicated with each other to save themselves.

Local people's awareness of epidemic prevention is enough to deal with the epidemic "may be better than Europe"
Wang revealed that the Immigration Department of Hong Kong contacted them today (25th) to understand the situation and to inquire about the medicines needed. However, when asked if the authorities could arrange for the Peruvian Hong Kong people to return to Hong Kong, the staff said that many Hong Kong people were still stranded outside the country. Therefore, Wang Zhi did not expect that the Hong Kong Government could arrange for them to leave, and had to wait for the Peruvian switch to make a decision. At present, he will take as much rest as possible to maintain his health to avoid getting sick.
As for the market situation in Peru, he said that the market is very deserted. Except for pharmacies and supermarkets, all shops have been closed, and meals can only be delivered to the room before the hotel. Wang believes that the local people ’s awareness of epidemic prevention is sufficient to cope with the epidemic, “may be better than Europe”. Many people on the street wear masks, and hotels and supermarkets also provide hand lotion disinfection.
Tan Wenhao, a legislative council member who assists stranded Peruvians in Hong Kong, said that he knew that if the British chartered plane withdraws overseas Chinese, Hong Kong people holding BNOs can also board the plane. He suggested that the Immigration Department give the information of stranded Peruvian porters to the airlines and let the airlines consider whether to arrange special charter flights.
