Tai O village is situated on the western side of Lantau Island, a popular tourist spot in Hong Kong.

Tucked away on the western side of Lantau Island, the largest of Hong Kong’s islands, locals of the Tai O village roam mask-free, with many saying they will use them when necessary.“There’s a lot of seawater to wash your hands with, and just use it as a sanitiser.”Hong Kong has 42 confirmed cases of coronavirus, which has killed more than 1,000 people in mainland China and sent jitters across global markets.

Supplies of hand sanitisers, masks, and other perceived panaceas in Tai O ran out at the beginning of Lunar New Year. The owner of its one pharmacy that caters to its population of around 2,000 said he was not sure when he could restock. “I have no clue when we’ll have any in stock again,” said Cheung, who has been running the branch for 13 years.
