The financial hub has 15 confirmed cases of the disease, many of them brought over from the Chinese mainland where the epidemic began and has so far killed more than 360 people.
Instead, the city government has closed down some crossings with arrivals down some 50 per cent since last week. The first strikers are"non-essential" staff but the union has said frontline workers, including doctors and nurses, will walk out on Tuesday if their demands are not met. Talks with the government broke down on Sunday after the union said city leader Carrie Lam had decided to not attend discussions in person.
PeterYe41807693 These medics did the strike to save HK from another epidemic, as our government was restlessly ignored the risk of infected Chinese visitors swarming in HK. CoronavirusOutbreak
Such a common sense to prevent CoronavirusOutbreak but seems BloodyCarrie government doesn’t have any of it
The government refused to shut down the borders, but they aren’t the one who suffers. The medics are the most dangerous! The masks and the protection robe are under supply in Hong Kong, which makes them more dangerous! It’s not fair for the medics to suffer the govt incompetence!
The WuhanPnemonia has uplifted to a global issue.. Everyone please try to think of root cause of this widely spread zoonosis.. AntiChinazi China_is_terrorist

Come on, CarrieLam, Look at what Macau has done at border control, Quarantine arrangement, medical Equipment supplies, economic booster plan. Their chief executive stood in front of press with masks , spent 1hour plus to answer all questions
Close the border now! SOSHK
Support medics strike for China border closure. Everyone's lives should be respected, we cannot risk to loose hospital workers' lives
Even now it’s too late to close the border. Over 40000 people have gone into Hong Kong over the past few days due to CarrieLam ‘s inaction. If it remains open, we are all doomed.
93ip Beijing don't want the border closed: Hoping coronavirus will hit disrupt the democracy movement!?
A strike that is not about money or workload, but health of all Hong Kong people. Respect.
Safe Hong Kong !!
soshk_hker Our medics strike not becos fear of the coronavrius, many of them been through SARS & they are the only one have the bargain chips negotiate to the murderer CarrieLam govt closed all borders save the lives of HongKongers & stop the virus spread worldwide through HK Airport!
100s out of 80000 thousand. In my part of the world its called BS
The Hong Kong government refuses to fully implement epidemic prevention of leave HK people at danger. Medics in HK have no choice but to go on strike, to seek for survival and also save HKers. coronarivirus wuhancoronarvirus
Yet, carrie Lam pretends she r betta than experts n doctors n knows well how 2 save china. She doesn't listen 2 us or the world. Pls pressure her, make her stop exporting CCP's vips n spreading the virus to the world. Sanction her 4 her evil acts. Stand with HK medics pls.
Isn't it a common sense to close the border in order to 'limit' the spread of virus and identify the hidden patient?
It’s reasonable!No one is willing to die for the gov to please the CCP, refuse to close the border,and have to deal with patients from China who conceal the condition.That’s definitely not a medical institution that has been chronically short of manpower and resources can handle.
Support general strike to support strike of medical staff💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
They are our heroes who bravely stood up for us. Budget for the health system should be reconsidered again. They are much deserved more than the HongKongPolice for a large amount of overtime salary. coronavirus HongKong HongKongProtests ChinaCoronaVirus wuhan
If we don’t close the border with China-follow live,there must be a community coronavirus-outbreak in HK.Our greatest doctors and nurses are trying to save all Hongkongers.They are the most selfless people in WuhanCoronovirus disease. HK medical system will come tumbling down.
CLOSE BORDER NOW ! Otherwise there must be coronavirus outbreak in HongKong ! Actually it already starts.....
The Hong Kong Government is incompetent and ignores the demands of Hong Kong people! The government does not provide medical equipment to medical staff Letting Chinese people come to Hong Kong ... More violating the Basic Law to suppress medical strikes! HongKong StandWithHK
Letting the door open and pass the burden of WuhanCoronavirus to the already overloaded HongKong medics is totally irresponsible. Support HK medics!
shut down the border is the only way to save hk! CarrieLam is useless to be in charge of hk! support the strike
Many Chinese visit HongKong everyday. We know Chinese love lying, they won't say they visited Wuhan before. Because of this reason, closing all the borders to stop Chinese visit HK is to best way to prevent coronavirus outbreak in HK.
Any gov will keep the doors open for virus carriers enter and spread the decease? Apparently only HK gov will do such stupid things, believe they hate Hongkongers gut so they won’t try to stop virus carriers come to use our resource and spread the virus
HKGov is betraying HKers, we have to save ourselves
HKers cannot afford the WuhanVirus spread in HK, and the fundamental solution is to block anyone coming in from china, hence we blocked the virus from spreading.
Hong Kong Health Authority threatened the staff who went on strike by sending them an email today. Shame on you!!! StandWithHongKong standwithmedics CarrieLamBloodyLiar
Can’t believe this government pushed our medics to this extent. It is shameful CarrieLam risked the lives of all HK people to be the puppet of CCP. This is the result of fake democracy without universal suffrage
Hkgov is putting hk people’s lives behind political considerations! Ridiculous!
honglishmaster I fully support the medical professionals to go on strike! Close all borders now! soshk
Most if the hkgers support the medical professionals, as close the border is the best method to prevent the latest CoronavirusOutbreak in HK. As HK kiss to the 2nd most infection case discovered
This is the only way to help Hong Kong citizens.
What's wrong with them. Dear lord... 🙄🙄🙄
Support Hong Kong Medical workers WuhanCoronavirusOutbreak StandWithHongKong
The most urgent solution is CLOSE THE BORDER!!!😠 SOSHK CoronavirusOutbreak StandWithHongKong
Respect! They are not requesting salary up, or better benefit, or shorter working hours; they cannot gain anything for their own but may even have punishment. The medics are just requesting HKGovt to save all Hong Kong citizens! coronavirus SOSHK
We support them fully, medical professionals are making a very reasonable request to ask the government closeborders, which is the best way to stop WuhanCoronavirusOutbreak!! The gov should not ignore us!!
I stand with the medical staffs! A complete border shutdown with China is the only way to stop the widespread community outbreak of the deadly coronavirus in Hong Kong.
As nearly 2 dozens of countries have put travel restrictions on Chinese visitors, Hong Kong government still hasn’t closed its borders with China, putting the general public in danger.
Support the medical workers. Close the border immediately!
Our medical workers is not worry the virus, they just want to solve the problem directly, many of china come to hongkong daily, many of them are invisible virus carrier, they come to HK everyday, if we don’t stop the virus entry how to solve the virus?
The best way to prevent wuhanconoravirus from entering HongKong is total closure of borders Otherwise,the mainlanders with WuhanVirus could still enter HongKong to make the WuhanPneumonia break out in HK If the medical system is capable of dealing with this situation?
If the HKGov refuses to close the borders thoroughly, there will only be more and more infectious Chinese hanging out in the streets of HK and infect more innocent HongKong citizens. WuhanCoronavirusOutbreak
Support Hongkong medical workers!
Strongly support and thank you our medical workers to go on strike. Closing borders completely is civilians’ demand and the best way to minimise impact of the WuhanCoronavirusOutbreak. Puppet Carrie Lam is shameless and heartless ignoring human lives and voices of civilians.
America, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, even North Korea has closed the border towards China. However, HK, which is right next to China still welcome visitors from China. The gov just put the whole society in danger. WuhanCoronavirusOutbreak hongkong
understandable and fully support these brave medical staffs. Thank you and thank you!
The strike of the medics is not irresponsible. They are still saving people not only the infected patients but all HK citizens. Thx for the courage of the medics to stand out for HK. standwithmedics China_is_terrorist WuhanVirus
when saving life mixed with politic.
They make good decision to strike for HongKongers. Epidemic prevention is better than cure after epidemic spreading. They are saving lives for people, unlike the HongKong puppet government which ignores ppl’s demand to close the border. StrikeToSaveLives
Support medics strike. Closing the border is the most effective way to prevent WuhanVirus spreads in HongKong
Support
Medical staff can only strike to demand the close of the border Or else, not only would people with the disease come to HK It would also spread to other people in HK ... With such a dense population, we cannot imagine the consequence
I could've done nothing for our medics who fight the bug brought in thru open border w/o enough gears. But that's unethical. And I doubt it's the best option when closed border's obviously the more effective & less risky option taken globally. That's why I support the strike.
China lied about the scale of outbreak, travelers lied about coming from Wuhan, patients lied about having visited affected area, HK Govt tried covering up the vanishing of surgical masks and medical supplies from warehouses Healthcare system is crumbling because Govt politics
Closing border is the most effective way to prevent the outbreak. This picture was shoted during annual pandemic flu and shows how shortages HK's medical resources are in. However, there're numerous patients flee from mainland.
The medics are trying to prevent a full-blown CoronavirusOutbreak in Hong Kong
香港医者と看護師達のストライキを子供に説明した。 父「家の中に蚊がいる。あなたが蚊を打っていたのが、但し、窓はあけてある。」 子「どう打っても蚊がくるよ。」 父「そう、医者と看護師の行為は、まず窓をロックするように頼みました」 子「じゃ、窓を閉めてから、蚊を打てましょう。」 拡散希望
We HongKongers support the medics strike. Plz do something to stop CoronavirusOutbreak before it’s too late, Carrie Lam. StandWithHongKong standwithmedics
Medical workers can do strike to pressure HK gov only, if they don’t close HK borders, the WuhanCoronovirus infected people should become more and more, we must do it when we still can control, we can’t let SARS happen in HK again, but I afraid CarrieLam actually want HKers die
As a HongKonger, I fully support the medical professionals to go on strike. They shoulder immense pressure to stand up to the Hong Kong Gov & demand closure of the border. The Gov fails to take effective actions to stop the spread of coronavirus. Thus HKers must take actions!
EVERYDAY over 10,000 tourists come to Hong Kong through the border from China. Closing ALL borders to China is the most effective way to stop the virus spreading here and around the world. But HKGov't rejects this in order to please CCP. Support HK medics strike! nCov2019
Border closure is one of the best ways to prevent community outbreak. I don't know why HongKong government refused to do it. HongKongers rights won't be protected unless we have gotten freedom !StandWithHongKong
