HONG KONG - Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam declared a virus emergency on Saturday, announcing measures to limit links with mainland China and prevent the spread of the new coronavirus.
Hong Kong’s health authorities have confirmed 5 coronavirus cases, all linked to Wuhan, with a further 122 people being treated as suspected of having the disease. Lam is dealing with the health issue as she faces broader tensions after seven months of sometimes violent anti-government protests. The first case in Hong Kong of the new coronavirus was confirmed on Wednesday, a 39-year-old man visiting from Wuhan who crossed by high-speed rail from neighbouring Shenzhen.
Many people are using masks in offices and on public transport, a reflection of the city’s strong memories of an earlier coronavirus crisis.
