The ban includes those who have been in the province in the past 14 days but excludes Hong Kong citizens.
HONG KONG - Hong Kong authorities on Sunday barred residents of China's Hubei province, the centre of the coronavirus outbreak, from entering the city, in response to mounting pressure to enact preventative measures to contain the spreading epidemic.
Firefighters managed to extinguish the fire and the damage appeared to be confined to the lobby area. Hundreds of riot police also moved in, arresting at least one person. "We are dissatisfied with the government selecting this housing estate as a separation village as it's very close to a residential area and a primary school," said a 28-year-old resident surnamed Tsang.
Hong Kong has been convulsed with demonstrations over the last seven months centred on Hong Kong's relationship with mainland China: with some protesters railing against what they see as growing interference from Beijing. Beijing denies meddling and blames the West for stirring trouble in the former British colony.
