Synopsis
When a new strain of coronavirus wreaked havoc in Wuhan in early February 2020, panic spread among the residents of Hong Kong as mainland Chinese continued to enter the territory by the thousands daily. A shortage of face masks soon followed, and when a non-government organisation managed to secure a batch for distribution to the elderly, many senior citizens showed up to wait in line.
