  • Today is March 6 2020.

  • We are reporting from Hong Kong.

  • Let's find out what has been happening since the Corona virus hit the city less than a month ago.

  • Aside from the cruise ship Hong Kong, was that number one with the most cases of Corona virus outside of China?

  • Because of the open border, the mainland Chinese people were flocking to Hong Kong for free medical treatments.

  • The medical facilities in Hong Kong were suddenly overwhelmed, and the people of Hong Kong started panicking.

  • Just watch this video, where people were grabbing the toilet paper like there's no tomorrow.

  • Hannan was in the air.

  • All the masks were immediately sold out.

  • Mercenaries jacked up the prices of the masks to 42 100 times its original price.

  • Someone on Instagram posted that she got her masks for 1000 Hong Kong dollars each.

  • That's around 100 and $30.

  • Who knows if any of this is true?

  • People started waiting from midnight until the opening off the store in the morning to get masks.

  • It was just fear, panic and chaos, so people started becoming creative when it comes to masks.

  • Thes mainland Chinese tourists were water bottles.

  • Others hugged the masks.

  • Certainly New way to wear underwear.

  • No wonder why all the sanitary napkins are gone.

  • So Ren wrapping yourself, I'm not sure what this is.

  • Maybe these extreme measures are working today.

  • According to the scrap, Hong Kong has dropped from first to 13th place with 107 cases of Corona virus.

  • Due to panic and experience from SARS, I'd say around 95 to 98% of the people of Hong Kong wear masks.

  • Even joggers are wearing masks.

  • About a month ago, all the rice, pasta, instant noodles, vegetables were pretty much sold out.

  • Also tissue products.

  • For some reason, sanitary napkins were sold out in one particular supermarkets.

  • Let's find out the current situation in Hong Kong.

  • Plenty of tissues stacks and stacks everywhere in the supermarket.

  • Plenty off instant noodles, endless rolls and rolls of toilet paper more than usual.

  • And they were not overpriced, probably three times more rice than usual.

  • Plenty of sanitizing products, plenty of sanitary napkins.

  • Stores that sell everyday items were also packed with extra disinfectants and toilet rules.

  • Cool pharmacies have restocks all the tissues.

  • It's infect ins, even stores.

  • The self snacks are packed to make rice.

  • Let's check out another supermarket.

  • About two weeks ago, I change here and there was no what rights to be found.

  • Now they're plenty of rice, lenti of tissue, paper stacks and stacks of rice everywhere in the supermarkets and instant noodles, and to shoot paper.

  • All the frozen items are replenished.

  • All the vegetables are a clannish TW.

  • Basically, there's more food in the supermarkets than ever before.

  • Instant noodles everywhere.

  • I think people are going to die of eating too much instant noodles rather than the virus in Hong Kong.

  • Plenty of disinfectants, plenty of pasta.

  • And they're being.

  • We stopped as we're speaking Korean instant noodles and a big pile of toilet paper on the side here, more than enough sanitary napkins.

  • Overall, all the items have been replenished with a big surplus.

  • I think that the people of Hong Kong a feeling a lot more secure in you.

  • I even saw this notice that says five pieces or one pack of surgical mask Purple person.

  • So I guess they're selling masks here, too.

  • Even restaurants are giving out masks after a meal.

  • I think the people of Hong Kong went from over panic to overcautious.

  • 98% of the people of Hong Kong are wearing masks or over wearing masks, and they're also constantly washing their hands.

  • Is it safe to travel to Hong Kong right now?

  • If you haven't booked anything, you should definitely wait a bit longer.

  • But if you already have a business trip coming to Hong Kong that you cannot cancel, we think that it is relatively safe.

  • If you take all the precautions such as wearing masks at all time in Washington, hands constantly.

  • This is the latest Corona virus update from Hong Kong.

  • Stay safe.
