Cross-border travel between Hong Kong and mainland China will be cut back significantly due to coronavirus, with measures expected to start Thursday and continue until further notice

HONG KONG—Chief Executive Carrie Lam said cross-border travel between the city and mainland China would be reduced significantly due to the spreading outbreak of the Wuhan coronavirus.

Speaking Tuesday at a news conference while wearing a surgical mask, Mrs. Lam said Hong Kong would shut two railways that connect to the mainland, as well as reduce cross-border tour buses, ferries and flights that go to and from China.

china should take full responsibility of not controlling their own experiment virus

No, it's not true. BloodyCarrie didn't close the most busy gate by air & railroad (in grey color). The ppl still have over 24 hours rush to Hong Kong. wuhanconoravirus WuhanOutbreak coronavirus nCoV2019

Not true! Only 6 border checkpoints will be closed form 30 Jan midnights, there’s only around 8% of mainland travellers came to HongKong through those border controls. WuhanPneumonia WuhanCoronovirus

Fk! Hong Kong government ignore Hong konger again...... we need to BLOCK ALL the border crossing station!!!! Without universal suffrage, government will not care citizens! hongkong

NOT significant at all. The public healthcare system in HK has been overloaded even before the outbreak. HKers are now asking for a complete shut down of all borders.

Misleading headlines

Just looking at the headline of Fake new WSJ will make ppl think The Hk govt is very efficient and solving problems, care for the ppl!

About damn time

What about your face mask ban?

To be reduced means it won’t make much difference

It’s need to be implemented ASAP ✌🏽

Hong Kong citizens would like it completely cut, forever

BoscoWo42122490 Sorry not significant. Lok Ma Chau, LO Wu and Shenzhen Bay are the major immigration control points that Chinese use to enter Hong Kong. So closing half the entry points is useless. Our doctors and nurses life are still at risk.

BoscoWo42122490 The closed checkpoint only account for 7.6% of total passenger throughput... Is it really effective?

Not significant. Shutting down borders which only account for 7-8% of total passenger throughout isnt helpful enough. And it simply results in a cannibisation by other borders. I imagine tmr we will see a crazy inbound flow of tourists from China. I dont own the photo.
