Hong Kong’s embattled leader has announced the closure of all border crossings with mainland China to shut out the coronavirus, except for the Shenzhen Bay joint checkpoint and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge. The city’s international airport would also remain open, Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said, as she announced the further restrictions under intense public and political pressure on Monday. Lam said the major land border crossings at Lo Wu and Lok Ma Chau would be shut down at one minute past midnight on Tuesday, along with the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal. Lam also stressed the need to set up more quarantine camps to isolate infected people and their close contacts.
“I urge residents and district councillors not to oppose any more,” she said, referring to public opposition to such facilities being designated near residential areas.
