Medics escalate strike action with thousands of members lining up to make petition

The Hospital Authority Employees Association (#HAEA) pointed out that the strike has reduced manpower in hospital wards the level during nightshift. The union said that in event of major community outbreak of Wuhan Pneumonia in Hong Kong, their strike will be postponed.

HAEA stresses that a full border lockdown is needed to halt the widespread of the coronavirus in Hong Kong. A member of HAEA said “we don’t want to be sacrificed for nothing. We don’t want any monument after a needless death”

Meanwhile, many more medical personnels were queuing up to make their petition. The massive crowd covered almost the entire Argyle Street in Mongkok.

Many representatives of Labour Unions including Aviation industry and Social Service sector also came to show support.
