March 17, 2020 12:45 PMHONG KONG: Hong Kong will quarantine for 14 days all people entering the city starting midnight on Thursday to prevent an “explosion” of coronavirus cases around the world compromising one of the world’s most successful outbreak limitation campaigns.
It now faced the risk that visitors carrying the virus could spread it in Hong Kong, undoing the city’s efforts so far, which have involved significant economic and social sacrifices. Hong Kong had previously designated three public housing blocs for quarantine, but those will be reserved for the high-risk cases.
