The new crown pneumonia epidemic is severe, and the death toll continues to rise.
Guo Kaibang, chairman of the Funeral Chamber of Commerce, said today (15th) that the current coffins in Hong Kong will be exhausted in two to three days. Due to the closure of Shenzhen, many coffins cannot come to Hong Kong, which is suspected of causing a "coffin shortage".
However, other people in the industry have reported that they have not heard that there is no supply, and there are also local production lines to manufacture eco-friendly coffins.

Guo Kaibang: Ninety percent of the coffins made in mainland China failed to come to Hong Kong due to the closure of Shenzhen
Guo Kaibang said that 90% of the coffins in Hong Kong are supplied by the mainland, and the mainland also has a large number of factories producing coffins, so it can meet the needs of Hong Kong.
However, due to the closure of the city in Shenzhen, many coffins cannot come to Hong Kong due to the impassable border crossing.
He also pointed out that although it is possible to transport goods by water, this method is time-consuming and may take more than 10 days. He described that "far water cannot put out a near fire", on the contrary, it only takes 6 hours to reach Hong Kong by land.
He hoped that the government could take special care to list the coffins from the Mainland as essential materials, such as food, fruits and vegetables, medicines, etc., which can be smoothly delivered to Hong Kong.
Some in the industry say they have not heard of it
However, other people in the industry have reported that the situation does not seem to be as tense as the above, and they have not heard that there will be no supply in 2 to 3 days.
In addition, there are also production lines in Hong Kong to make eco-friendly coffins. Although the number is small, it is believed that coffins can also be provided locally.
