Zero Cases in Hong Kong – A Breath of Fresh Air
On Monday, April 20, Hong Kong broke a streak of daily positives and logged no new coronavirus cases at all. It’s the first time the city has seen a clean slate since early March.
What the Numbers Tell Us
- Total confirmed cases: 1,025
- Deaths: 4
- Last zero‑case day: March 5
Unlike the wild spikes in places like London or New York, Hong Kong has shied away from a full‑scale lockdown. That means work‑from‑home is still the norm, schools remain shuttered, and streets are noticeably quieter.
The “Safe‑Zone” Atmosphere
Every day, you’ll see:
- Masked faces everywhere – it’s practically a fashion statement.
- Temperature checks at office entrances, malls, and schools.
- Free sanitizer dispensers at every corner.
Keeping Things Tight
Remember the four‑person rule? From March 29 to April 23, public gatherings were capped at four folks. Game centers, gyms, cinemas, and other entertainment spots have been closed. And the airport? All foreign arrivals were halted indefinitely.
What’s Next?
The health authorities are asking residents to keep ironing out those hygiene habits and social‑distance habits. A bit of effort, and we’ll keep cruising through a COVID‑free world.
