Protest-friendly Restaurant Distributes Masks in Hope to Repay Citizen’s Support for Yellow Economic Circle
Several branches of a restaurant chain (光榮冰室) were distributing masks to citizens outside their stores, hoping to fight the epidemic together. During the distribution outside their restaurants, there were long queues with mostly elderly citizens. They had to stop citizens from joining the queue in the evening since there were only limited number of masks, however, many citizens still insisted on waiting in line. The restaurant owner decided to increase the number of masks to be distributed, hoping to satisfy more citizens in need.
The owner told the reporters that his restaurant has won the support of many Hong Kong citizens during the anti-extradition movement, he was hoping that the money he earned can be given back to the community. He also mentioned that he was able to order 300,000 masks for distribution.

Government Issues No Masks to Cleaners, Many Forced to Wash and Reuse Old Masks
The ongoing epidemic has caused a continuous shortage of mask supplies, and outsourced cleaners are among the first to be affected. A survey conducted in February showed that 30% of cleaning companies have not provided their employees with masks. Among those who were provided masks, around 40% of them received less than one mask a day.
A cleaner mentioned that “we were given one during Chinese New Year, then (the company) asked us to wash it and re-use”. Many cleaners were forced to wash and re-use them, causing the masks to wear out and some were even damaged. Unions urges government to increase masks supply.
