Neighbors: More or less impact will avoid fish stalls

There are currently 17 confirmed cases in Hung Hom and To Kwa Wan markets, of which 6 are fishmongers. Many neighbourhoods are worried about fish stalls and said they will try to minimize contact. Ms. Lu from the To Kwa Wan neighbourhood thinks that the closure of the market will more or less affect the neighbourhood. She bluntly said that she may not eat fish recently and will wait for the epidemic to stabilize. Ms. Chen also said that she will buy as little fish as possible recently. Mr. Lin from To Kwa Wan Kaifong believes that the closure of the market will have little impact on the community, because there are many stalls nearby with a wide range of varieties, and you can buy food as usual. He described that "if you want to eat fish, you will buy it as you like," but he said that after the market reopens, he won't go too often.

Ms. Ma, a frequent customer of the market, said that the market will be affected after the closure of the market, because the market is mainly used to buy food on weekdays. She believes that the market is always the most complete. Therefore, if the market is reopened, it will be patronized as usual and will not worry about the environment. She believes that epidemic prevention is the most important It is personal hygiene.

Ms. Li of the Hung Hom neighbourhood described the Hung Hom market as "too late." She believes that the government should close the market at the time of the first confirmed case of the Hung Hom Market. She would also go to the market to buy food on weekdays. She said that she had patronized one of the confirmed fish stalls and would pay attention to epidemic prevention. It will be at least one week after the market opens. To buy food later

She pointed out that the same amount of pork has been sold at the same time on weekdays "seven or eighty-eight," but recently there has been a lot of low. Food stall He Shengxian also said that the business in the past two days has been nearly half, but frankly said that safety and hygiene are the most important, and if there is free quarantine in the future, he would not mind testing.
